Leonard Susskind,George Hrabovsky
A ,Wall Street Journal, Best Book of 2013,A world-class physicist and a citizen scientist combine forces to teach Physics 101â€”the DIY way,The Theoretical Minimum, is a book for anyone who has ever regretted not taking physics in collegeâ€”or who simply wants to know how to think like a physicist. In this unconventional introduction, physicist Leonard Susskind and hacker-scientist George Hrabovsky offer a first course in physics and associated math for the ardent amateur. Unlike most popular physics booksâ€”which give readers a taste of what physicists know but shy away from equations or mathâ€”Susskind and Hrabovsky actually teach the skills you need to do physics, beginning with classical mechanics, yourself. Based on Susskind's enormously popular Stanford University-based (and YouTube-featured) continuing-education course, the authors cover the minimumâ€”the theoretical minimum of the titleâ€”that readers need to master to study more advanced topics.,An alternative to the conventional go-to-college method, ,The Theoretical Minimum, provides a tool kit for amateur scientists to learn physics at their own pace.
