Physics by Example contains two hundred problems from a wide range of key topics, along with detailed, step-by-step solutions. By guiding the reader through carefully chosen examples, this book will help to develop skill in manipulating physical concepts. Topics dealt with include: statistical analysis, classical mechanics, gravitation and orbits, special relativity, basic quantum physics, oscillations and waves, optics, electromagnetism, electric circuits, and thermodynamics. There is also a section listing physical constants and other useful data, including a summary of some important mathematical results. In discussing the key factors and most suitable methods of approach for given problems, this book imparts many useful insights, and will be invaluable to anyone taking first or second year undergraduate courses in physics.

At the time of writing Tim Prichard has nearly 30 years' experience as a science teacher in several schools both in the UK and abroad, covering the entire age and ability range, including A level Physics and Chemistry. The author has found students revise and consolidate their knowledge best if they have access to a wide variety of worked examples to study from. Physics by Example is based upon this concept with each topic having a short introduction followed by around ten example questions. Each question has a full "e;step by step"e;, easy to follow solution, including hints and and tips to help the student understand the methodology for each question. At the end of each section there is a self testing exercise with answers to help the students consolidate their knowledge. Prichard Guides work best if they are used in conjunction with the student's own notes to support their own learning. These guides provide a huge resource of model questions and answers which have been tried and tested in classrooms across the UK and abroad, as they have been the basis of the author's lessons for nearly three decades, have been very successful and are still being used in lessons today.

An understanding of basic physics is one of the most important life skills a person can have. Hence, it is essential that it is taught in a way which enables the student to gain an excellent foundation in physics and the skills needed to use physics in a wide variety of applications. This book aims to be an important aid in achieving this by providing over 150 problems with worked solutions at A-level, for the student to study. Solutions are given in detail, this is to enable the student to check their progress and understanding of the topic and to iron out any difficulties they may encounter.

In this, the second volume in an important new series presenting core concepts across a range of critical areas of human knowledge, author Joanne Baker unravels the complexities of 20th-century scientific theory for a general readership. From Hubble's law to the Pauli exclusion principle, and from Schrodinger's cat to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, she explains ideas at the cutting-edge of scientific enquiry, making them comprehensible and accessible to the layperson.
