Physics For Dummies is all about physics from your point of view. I’ve taught
physics to many thousands of students at the university level, and from that
experience, I know that most students share one common trait: confusion.
As in, “I’m confused as to what I did to deserve such torture.”
This book is different. Instead of writing it from the physicist’s or professor’s
point of view, I write it from the reader’s point of view. After thousands of
one-on-one tutoring sessions, I know where the usual book presentation
of this stuff starts to confuse people, and I’ve taken great care to jettison
the top-down kinds of explanations. You don’t survive one-on-one tutoring
sessions for long unless you get to know what really makes sense to people —
what they want to see from their points of view. In other words, I designed
this book to be crammed full of the good stuff — and only the good stuff.
You also discover unique ways of looking at problems that professors and
teachers use to make figuring out the problems simple.
