Physics basics

By Stuart I. Riley - September 22, 2012

As most of the Dummies series, this book on physics is written for those who are interested in science, but not looking for deep physical theory. As part of the series of two books, this is the essential piece of science necessary to expose the basics of motion, gravity, and other physical phenomenon.

classroom use

By Alizon Roth - November 5, 2012

I teach Physics and our school does not have a physics text book since we do most of the course work on line. I needed a simple way to fill in the gaps for what we were getting on line and what we were doing in the classroom. The Physics for Dummies series was a great resource. The exercises were practical and easy for the students to understand. I really like the relationship between the books and the workbook. This has been really useful for my students.
