About the author
McGraw-Hill Education
13k books136 followersMcGraw-Hill Education traces its history back to 1888 when James H. McGraw, co-founder of the company, purchased the American Journal of Railway Appliances. He continued to add further publications, eventually establishing The McGraw Publishing Company in 1899. His co-founder, John A. Hill, had also produced several technical and trade publications and in 1902 formed his own business, The Hill Publishing Company.
In 1909 both men agreed upon an alliance and combined the book departments of their publishing companies into The McGraw-Hill Book Company. John Hill served as President, with James McGraw as Vice-President. 1917 saw the merger of the remaining parts of each business into The McGraw-Hill Publishing Company, Inc.

Gelonce: physics was the academic book for physics in high school which we study it for the long three years from a high school freshman till you become a senior. I was really looking towards studying physics academically since i got really intersted in science and physics in specific in middle school where we were studying a general science textbook from the same organization; Mc graw hill, and so i had a background about atoms and electrons, and electricity thanks to this book.
My jouney with this book gose from tottal excitement to know more about physics after being confused while reading physical articles on NASA’s website and don’t even knowing what a photon nor the reflection is, to the tottal amazement of the great structure of nature, and some of the disappointment in between.
This book took a an order on explaining physical concepts from the easiest yet the surface level of live like motion, movements and falling and the three main lows of motions and Newton’s laws, to the most universal and complacted and underneath the attom stuff.
The motion part was really easy, yet us as a juniors we were all new to symbols and Delta and notation and all of tat stuff. What I've found unexplained is the fourlmla of the third law of motion, whichlater nas been declarative after being introduced to calculus.
I got really upset years after i read Fineman’s book; the nature of physics laws, which talked about orbits, solar system and Kepler‘s three laws and i dwells on my regret for not knowing about this book earlier on when i was absent on that specific class.
The math part on physics was always fun, and nothing but compensation, yet you still have to had the minimum amount of basic math like convirimg between measures and knowing about cos, sin and tan and angels between two victors and I’ve found this pretty confusing back on the days when I didn’t know how to differentiate between the haed and the tail of a vector till i read a book written by a theocratical physicist.
I was really fasintaed and amazed by the quntam physics and the energy level for the electorn and by Plank and Schrödinger and all the coolest scientists, in fact the physical part of chemistry was the only chapter I’ve found it interesting in chemistry, and i read a book about it, and that was actully my favorite part on 11th grade, cause things get a bit mechanical and dynamic after that and it was my less favorite chapter of it all.
