This established text provides a first course in physics for
students on access or foundation programmes and for
non-specialist students on degree courses such as
biological sciences, chemical sciences, engineering,
mathematics and geology for whom physics is a subsidiary
subject. The book is also suitable for trainee science
teachers and medical students who need to develop a solid
background in physics.
Physics offers various routes into the subject via
independent introductory sections on mechanics,
materials, waves and electricity. Assuming no prior
knowledge and focusing on the essentials, the text
develops the topics of fields, electromagnetism,
electronics, atomic and nuclear physics, and advanced
Jim Breithaupt is a physics writer with extensive mechanics and thermodynamics, in a logical and succinct
experience of teaching physics in schools and colleges. style. Illustrations are used extensively to support
He has written several highly-regarded school and college theoretical explanations and help readers understand the
texts including New Understanding Physics for Advanced fundamentals of physics.
Level and AQA A Level Physics.
Now in its fourth edition, Physics contains a new section
on rotational dynamics, additional applications features
throughout and it has an attractive new layout
and design.
Key features include:
mathematical exercises and extensive
mathematical support
• worked examples in every chapter
a glossary of key terms and concepts
* chapter objectives and summaries
Ideal for use as a class text or for independent study,
Physics will help students who are new to the subject to gain
confidence in their knowledge and understanding of physics.
‘A refreshingly different approach with a good
mixture of fact, application and experiment... strong
on worked examples and end of chapter questions...
the coverage is comprehensive and up-to-date while
managing also to be sufficiently rigorous and concise.
l... there is a need for this type of text, which is much
more focused on the basic principles of the subject than
the currently available texts at foundation level.
