The beauty of simple physics
19.99 €
The author of the book takes on the task of explaining the physics of the everyday world in simple terms. Unlike many popularizers of science, he offers the reader not a set of disparate facts to memorize, but a number of original examples that require an analytical approach. What is special about tidal waves on the Moon? How to calculate the energy of moving water? Is it possible to measure the depth of a hole using a stopwatch? What forces act on a baseball in flight? Each chapter contains a statement and description of a non-standard problem. Another goal of the book is to rehabilitate mathematics, which non-specialists traditionally consider a complex science. The first chapter is intended to quickly check whether the reader has the fundamental knowledge of mathematics necessary to read the book.

The notes at the end of the chapters provide links to useful literature on the topic under discussion. For readers with basic knowledge of physics and mathematics and interested in physical laws.
