Physics: The Easy Way

by Robert L. Lehrman M.A.

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.

this book is really informative on the basics of what physics is and gives you everything down to the smallest detail. before you start reading this book its good to have first taken a couple of classes of trigonometry to help you better understand the math incorporated in physics. over all i found that i was able to understand everything that was going on in the book and i was able to retain all the information because of the extra practice questions that where given to review each chapter.

Helped with physics though not a ton. Great for learning concepts but not so much on help with medium-hard/more complicated problems.
