Head First Physics: A Learner's Companion to Mechanics and Practical Physics (Head First)

Whether you're struggling to pass the AP Physics B exam, fighting a headache from your college physics course, or just want to understand how the world around you really works, Head First Physics will give you what you need to master algebra-based mechanics and practical physics. Designed for the way your brain works instead of a text-heavy approach that puts you to sleep, this book offers a multi-sensory learning experience and encourages a deeper understanding of the material.

Hey! You’re a learner who is struggling in Physics so... Learn Physics the Head First way... Physics textbooks or exam prep books usually present you with all the facts you might need to know, in quick-fire style. In Head First Physics, there is space for you to explore and make your own discoveries. The book is interactive and you directly play a part. For example, you'll spend 44 pages exploring vectors in a treasure hunt competition rather than having the "facts" thrown at you in the space of three pages.

It's the exploration that makes things stick—and makes the physics easier to learn. You're immersing yourself in the scenario rather than "reading along and nodding" from the "outside" like you would for most books. Overcome past learning struggles... Two topics in particular are in the "crossover" between math and physics — dealing with forces applied at angles and understanding the mathematics of circular and simple harmonic motion. Many students say that they can "use" the equations but don't really understand what they mean, so they become stuck when faced with more complicated problems. This is because typical physics books state these equations as fact, without giving much help or guidance in thinking through what the equations mean and why they work.

In Head First Physics, you spend a whole chapter building a solid foundation with angles and right-angled triangles by working out how to defend a castle. And for circular motion, you spend a whole chapter implementing a hamster training schedule, again exploring and working everything out for yourself. You are then able to use your depth of understanding to solve more complicated problems by breaking them down into simpler ones you already know how to do.

Make connections... Forces... Newton’s Laws... Energy... Work... Connect forces and Newton's Laws to energy and work. Most physics books say something like: "Here are Newton's three laws, in order. Here are some other equations for momentum conservation and impulse. Here are a couple more equations for potential and kinetic energy." But the connections between them aren't made clear, and most students treat them as a list of separate things to be memorized. In Head First Physics, you find out about momentum conservation (while helping some pirates deal with a ghost ship), which you use to discover Newton's 2nd & 3rd laws and impulse. After doing an assignment for "Fakebusters" investigating a phony "instant weight loss" machine and being a physics consultant on a computer game, you discover energy conservation while working out a way to lift the sword in the stone using physics. Everything builds logically and the connections are clear because you've discovered them for yourself by using what you already knew to figure out something new.

Apply physics to real life situations In Chapter 12 we introduce a Sim Football computer game, where you have to help a programmer who's good at writing games but not very good at physics. You have to think about how lots of different elements in a football game—passing, tackling, kicking, etc.—work in real life, then translate them into equations for the programmer. And once you've done that, you have to deal with extra problems that come up—like the players sliding the full length of the pitch after a tackle, or the CEO wanting to include a level where you play on the moon! This is just like real life, where solving a problem often brings something else to the surface. You can apply many of the problem solving approaches in the book to more than just physics!

Advice to learners from Heather Don't try to memorize! That's got to be the most important thing. Physics is like a sport — you learn best by doing rather than by memorizing. So the whole book's geared towards learning by doing, through solving problems as you go along. Start with a sketch, and write down all the values you already know on it. This gets the visual parts of your brain working and gives you a single reference on your page where you've collected together everything you know so far. Ask: "What's it LIKE"? Physics is about the world around you, and you already have plenty of experience there. Your sketch may remind you of a scenario you've seen before, or a similar problem you've previously solved, even if the "story" is different. Don't be afraid to have a go. The best way to solve a problem is to start it. You won't always see in advance how you're going to work your way through the problem, but as you sketch and write things down you'll often get ideas popping into your head that you can run with.

Wouldn't it be great if there were a physics book that showed you how things work instead of telling you how? Finally, with Head First Physics, there is. This comprehensive book takes the stress out of learning mechanics and practical physics by providing a fun and engaging experience, especially for students who "just don't get it."

Head First Physics offers a format that's rich in visuals and full of activities, including pictures, illustrations, puzzles, stories, and quizzes -- a mixed-media style proven to stimulate learning and retention. One look will convince you: This isn't mere theory, this is physics brought to life through real-world scenarios, simple experiments, and hypothetical projects. Head First Physics is perfect for anyone who's intrigued by how things work in the natural world.

You'll quickly discover that physics isn't a dry subject. It's all about the world we live in, encompassing everything from falling objects and speeding cars, to conservation of energy and gravity and weightlessness, and orbital behavior. This book:

• Helps you think like a physicist so you can understand why things really work the way they do
• Gives you relevant examples so you can fully grasp the principles before moving on to more complex concepts
• Designed to be used as a supplement study guide for the College Board's Advanced Placement Physics B Exam
• Introduces principles for the purpose of solving real-world problems, not memorization
• Teaches you how to measure, observe, calculate -- and yes -- how to do the math
• Covers scientific notation, SI units, vectors, motion, momentum conservation, Newton's Laws, energy conservation, weight and mass, gravitation and orbits, circular motion and simple harmonic motion, and much more

If "Myth Busters" and other TV programs make you curious about our physical world -- or if you're a student forced to take a physics course -- now you can pursue the subject without the dread of boredom or the fear that it will be over your head. Head First Physics comes to the rescue with an innovative, engaging, and inspirational way to learn physics!

There Are No Electrons: Electronics for Earthlings

An off-beat introduction to the workings of electricity for people who wish Richard Brautigan and Kurt Vonnegut had teamed up to explain inductance and capacitance to them. Despite its title, it's not wild ranting pseudo-science to be dismissed by those with brains. Rather, Amdahl maintains that one need not understand quantum physics to grasp how electricity works in practical applications. To understand your toaster or your fax machine, it doesn't really matter whether there are electrons or not, and it's a lot easier and more fun to start with the toaster than with quarks and calculus. The book is mildly weird, often funny, always clear and easy to understand. It assumes the reader doesn't know a volt from a hole in the ground and gently leads him or her through integrated circuits, radio, oscillators and the basics of the digital revolution using examples that include green buffalo, microscopic beer parties, break-dancing chickens and naked Norwegian girls in rowboats. OK, it's more than mildly weird.

The book has been reprinted numerous times since 1991 and has achieved minor cult status. Reviewed and praised in dozens of electronics and educational magazines, it is used as a text by major corporations, colleges, high schools, military schools and trade schools. It has been studied by education programs at colleges across the United States. This book was making wise cracks in the corner before anyone thought of designing books for dummies and idiots; some say it helped to inspire that industry.

It may be the only "introduction to electronics books" with back cover comments by Dave Barry, Ray Bradbury, Clive Cussler, and George Garrett, as well as recomendations from Robert Hazen, Bob Mostafapour, Dr. Roger Young, Dr. Wayne Green, Scott Rundle, Brian Battles, Michelle Guido, Herb Reichert and Emil Venere. As Monitoring Times said, "Perhaps the best electronics book ever. If you'd like to learn about basic electronics but haven't been able to pull it off, get There Are No Electrons. Just trust us. Get the book."
