The fast, easy way to master the fundamentals of physics

Here is the most practical, complete, and easy-to-use guide available for understanding physics and the physical world. Even if you don't consider yourself a "science" person, this book helps make learning key concepts a pleasure, not a chore. Whether you need help in a course, want to review the basics for an exam, or simply have always been curious about such physical phenomena as energy, sound, electricity, light, and color, you've come to the right place! This fully up-to-date edition of Basic Physics:

  • Has been tested, rewritten, and retested to ensure that you can teach yourself all about physics
  • Requires no math—mathematical treatments and applications are included in optional sections so that you can choose either a mathematical or nonmathematical approach
  • Lets you work at your own pace with a helpful question-and-answer format
  • Lists objectives for each chapter—you can skip ahead or find extra help if you need it
  • Reinforces what you learn with end-of-chapter self-tests

Even I can grasp it!

Depicts and explains physics in a nice broken down simple way. So far I'm getting it as I go. No real retention; but that is my issue, not the books! I'm reading it nibble by nibble for my own enjoyment - but I think it would be a really helpful companion for students as it makes physics less intimidating.

Physics!

Seriously, nobody is a good physics teacher. I bought this book to improve my vanity and it has been fruitless. So in turn will you not yield fruit by buying this book.

Not what I was looking for.

Because I was more into chemistry than physics in high school, I decided to brush up on physics and relearn the subject to help my kids in few years time. When the book arrived, I was truly disappointed. The book was almost like Physical Science class textbook which I took in 9th grade, which many of us had found it not difficult - and only requires light mathematical problem solving skills. I was rather looking for "Physics"-physics, not so "BASIC"-physics. I was looking for more mathematical problem solving guide, but, this book covers more of the basic theoretical questions and not enough of "heavy-math" involving problems which I had to deal with in my senior year physics class. And looking at the cover, well, I'll be darned, "BASIC Physics". duh... :P If only my 9th grade teacher had named the science class "Basic Physics", instead of Physical Science.

I find it very helpful

I needed to remind myself some basic physics. It does the work.

For the self disciplined

This book will help anyone who feels they do not comprehend as quickly as others it is a introduction to physics and provides a understanding what physics is. If your not sure what physics is and never took it in school this book will be helpful prior to you taking the course in college or highschool.
