Covering the core fields of mechanics and relativity, electromagnetism, waves and optics, quantum mechanics, and thermal physics, this book is an essential learning tool for students, as well as a handy reference for graduates and researchers in the physical sciences. The perfect companion to the mainstream physics textbooks, providing fast access to the essential material Highlights and consolidates the key equations, derivations, theories and concepts that are the fundamentals of your physics course Provides a structured outline of the core ideas, to be used alongside lecture notes and classes Offers an ideal reference for graduates and researchers in the physical sciences Informal style –  written by a recent student specifically for students  Notes are used to highlight the major equations, show where they come from and how they can be used and applied The aim is to consolidate understanding, not teach the basics from scratch If you are looking for a better option than digging through college textbooks for that forgotten something, reviewing material for an examination, or preparing for graduate entry, then Physics:  A Student Companion is the right book for you. From reviews: "Every undergraduate physicist ought to own a copy of this remarkable, unique and innovative textbook... I truly believe this textbook should be taken advantage of by all undergraduates, and I wish it had been published earlier in my undergraduate degree." Student Review, Times Higher Education, May 2012

"As companions go, this is an excellent one and it should become a best friend to all physics undergraduates, particularly in those important, lonely weeks of study in the run-up to examinationsI encourage all lecturers to recommend this book to their students." * Cern Courier *
