Advanced Physics For You

From the same author as the popular first edition, the second edition of this trusted, accessible textbook is now accessible online, anytime, anywhere on Kerboodle. It breaks down content into manageable chunks to help students with the transition from GCSE to A Level study, and has been fully revised and updated for the new A Level specifications for first teaching September 2015. This online textbook provides plenty of examples and practice questions for consolidation of learning, with 'Biology at Work', 'Key Skills in Biology' and 'Study Skills' sections giving many applications of biology throughout. Suitable for AQA, OCR, WJEC and Edexcel.

Designed to be motivating to the student, this title includes features that are suitable for individual learning. It covers the AS-Level and core topics of almost all A2 specifications.

Revised for the GCSE co-ordinated science syllabuses, as well as for GCSE physics, this book is aimed at a wide range of middle-ability students and introduces the basic ideas of physics, incorporating hundreds of applications, uses and examples, with many experiments, investigations and questions, highlighted key concepts and end-of-chapter summaries. Also included is a section giving advice on practical work, essential mathematics, revision, and examination technique.

Written by members of the Editorial Board of the Institute of Physics, Advanced Physics makes A-level physics accessible to all students, with Maths boxes throughout to support concept development. Questions give opportunities to practise recall and analytical skills, and there are high quality diagrams and full colour illustrations throughout.

To move from empirical-based physics to the theoretical abstractness required for advanced physics requires a paradigmatic shift in logic that can challenge even the brightest mind. Grasping the play of phenomena as they are described in introductory compendiums does not necessarily create a foundation that allows for the building of a bridge to the higher levels of theoretical physics. In the first edition of Advanced University Physics, respected physicists Stuart Palmer and Mircea Rogalski built that bridge, and then guided readers across it. Serving as a supplement to the standard advanced physics syllabus, their work provided a succinct review of course material, while encouraging the development of a more cohesive understanding of theoretical physics. Now, after incorporating suggestions from many readers and colleagues, the two authors have revised and updated their original work to produce a second, even more poignant, edition. Succinct, cohesive, and comprehensive, Advanced University Physics, Second Edition brings individuals schooled in the rudiments of physics to theoretical fluency. In a progression of concise chapters, the text clarifies concepts from Newtonian Laws to nuclear dynamics, while introducing and building upon the theoretical logic required to operate in the world of contemporary physics. Some chapters have been combined to improve relational clarity, and new material has been added to cover the evolving concepts that have emerged over the last decade in this highly fluid field. The authors have also added a substantial amount of relevant problems and at least one pertinent example for every chapter. Those already steeped in physics will continue to find this work to be a useful reference, as the book's 47 chapters provide the opportunity to become refreshed and updated on a great number of easily identified topics.

The most popular series for GCSE has been updated to offer comprehensive coverage of the revised GCSE specifications. Physics for You, has been updated in-line with the revised National Curriculum requirements.
