Many,many years ago when I was in school, you had the choice of subjects like alegebra or so called "commercial arithmetic, Anticipating, I would be working in an office, I saw no need to do the alegbra. What a huge mistake. I am now 78 years old and to this day, I regret not having learned it- so
* Unlike most books on the topic, this one utilizes a "top down" approach--general concepts are presented first and details follow * For the most user-friendly and clear style possible, formulas and equations are used when necessary, but mathematics does not overwhelm the presentation
YOU DONβT HAVE TO BE A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO UNDERSTAND PHYSICSNow anyone with an interest in the physical sciences can master physics -- without formal training or drowning in a sea of complicated formulas and equations. In Physics Demystified best-selling author Stan Gibilisco offers a fun, effectiv
