Description
The aim of the Preparation Course Physics is to provide the reader with a qualitative and intuitive understanding of some of the key concepts in the field of physics.
The Preparation Course Physics consists of the following:
- 85 pages of text divided into 7 chapters: Electricity, Magnetism, Mechanics, Thermal Physics, Matter, Waves, and Radioactivity (see further below to download a detailed table of contents);
- Detailed figures, graphs, and tables, which are all entirely designed by the author (including the images), to give visual support to the explanation of the different concepts;
- Clear and consistent definitions of all new concepts, laws, theorems, and relations as well as (for most cases) their corresponding mathematical formulation (and sometimes derivation);
- Both qualitative and numerical examples that accompany and further clarify the explanation of the concepts. The numerical examples are original creations of the author and a step-by-step explanation of the calculations guides the reader towards the final result;
- An accessible and transparent writing style, whereby much care is given to communicate and reflect as clearly as possible a deeper understanding of the underlying causes of various physical phenomena.
Intended Audience
Given its strong explanatory nature, the Preparation Course Physics is primarily intended as a helpful resource in addition to the first-year university textbooks.
The Course furthermore serves anyone who is deciding to start a degree in higher education that offers an introductory course in physics and is looking for a smooth transition. The Course is particularly helpful in the context of degrees that require students to take admission tests, as in the case of dentistry and medicine.
Finally, the Preparation Course Physics is equally an ideal resource for anyone who is looking for an introduction to physics out of the context of a formal education.
