Product Description
Product Description
Here is an introduction to physics for high school students, college-101 courses, or students looking for a self-teaching introduction to this sometimes intimidating science. The author makes physics easier to comprehend by using ordinary language to explain concepts. Mathematical techniques, limited to elementary algebra, are introduced and used throughout to provide the necessary rigor and to give students the tools they need to solve problems. Topics introduced include motion, forces, machines, energy, heat, wave motion, noise and music, electricity, magnetism, electromagnetic waves, the properties of light, and an introduction to nuclear physics. This new edition can be used by prospective medical school students to help them prepare for many questions that appear in the MCAT. Material in the text that applies to the MCAT as well as material specific to college-level introductory physics is marked with an asterisk. Also new in this edition is a chapter on electronics, and expansions and updates on many physics topics, including special relativity.

5.0 out of 5 stars
High score with minimal effort.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Physics the Easy Way (Paperback)
This book summarizes the main points in a very lucid and concise manner with small number of carefully selected examples which emphasizes the main idea. Because of the unique format of this book, students can grasp the main idea in a shortest time with minimal effort. This book can be helpful to review the main ideas before the exams or to grasp the main idea before studying the subject in more detail.

Not recommended for a physics student!,
By "ujjs" (Israel) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Physics the Easy Way (Paperback)
I tried myself physics from this book when I was in 10th grade, and, although in the early going it could get points across, it eventually did a worse and worse job until, in electricity & magnetism, it had a tendency to confuse. Not recommended - if you are a student who wants to learn physics, get a real textbook, like Resnick & Halliday, or Sears & Zemansky. If you want a great problem supplement, get The Physics Problem Solver, by REA. It is a great book, and a must for physics students.If you are not interested is studying physics seriously, this book is not that expensive you might want to consider purchasing it. Don't expect to gain any deep understand and you'll probably have to ask some one who does know physics to explain a few points to you, but you'll probably get something out of it. So, I guess I'd give it 1 star for a physics student, 3 stars for some one who just wants to know a little physics but is not serious on the subject, so it averaged out to 2 stars.

A Great Book,
By Jill Pilz (Pensacola, Florida USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Physics the Easy Way (Paperback)
I am taking college physics and it has been quite overwhelming. I have looked at several Physic's books to get an understanding. I turned to amazon.com to see more choices and ordered this book. I am so happy. I love this book and can hardly put it down. Things are making sense now. I just wish I had this book before I started the semester. Thank you Mr. Lehrman. If I could hug you, I would!
