Physics by Rajesh R Parwani
This book is a concise survey of the foundations of classical physics. It focuses on conceptual issues, and the various limitations that were later overcome with the development of quantum theory and Einstein's relativity. The presentation is aimed at enthusiasts in schools and beyond who have had some prior exposure to physics, but the uninitiated might also find some parts of this book to be informative. Topics covered include: Physics as information compression, the principle of relativity, cause and effect, symmetries and conservation laws, order and disorder, arrow of time, fields, waves, spontaneous symmetry breaking and emergence. Notes, exercises, and references have been included for those who are more inquisitive. Additional resources are listed on the book's webpage.
Dr. Rajesh R. Parwani specialises in quantum theory and cosmology. He has mentored research students from high-school to graduate school, and taught university level modules in quantitative reasoning, multi-disciplinary science and physics. His other books are `Integrated Mathematics for Explorers' (with Adeline Ng) and `Real World Mathematics' (with Dr. W.K. Ng).
