Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Robert H. March is a Proffessor of Physics at the University of Wisconsin. The text developed out of the course of the same name. There is not alot of poetry going on here. He aims to make the principles of physics as understandable to a comoner like my self, not initiated into the high scientific mysteries, understandable. There are formulas here, but some things can't be undertood without them. You don't need much more then a grasp of highschool algebra to follow along. Presumably even a poet has had this. It is a chronological review of Physics from its inception by the greeks to the curent edge of partical physics. Or at least what we can at least hope to understand. Clearly writen, and a supurb attempt to render this very difficult material understandable. It will take some effort on the reader's part to understand, but it is well worth doing so. He really can't make it any simpler without becoming inaccurate.

Very accessible, brief, introduction to physics for the non-science major. A text written for the curious, non-scientist who wants to know how modern physics came to be, and figure out what lies behind the stories in the science columns of their newspapers.
