Kurzbeschreibung
Wouldn't it be great if there were a physics book that showed you how things work instead of telling you how? Finally, with Head First Physics, there is. This comprehensive book takes the stress out of learning mechanics and practical physics by providing a fun and engaging experience, especially for students who "just don't get it." Head First Physics offers a format that's rich in visuals and full of activities, including pictures, illustrations, puzzles, stories, and quizzes -- a mixed-media style proven to stimulate learning and retention. One look will convince you: This isn't mere theory, this is physics brought to life through real-world scenarios, simple experiments, and hypothetical projects. Head First Physics is perfect for anyone who's intrigued by how things work in the natural world. You'll quickly discover that physics isn't a dry subject. It's all about the world we live in, encompassing everything from falling objects and speeding cars, to conservation of energy and gravity and weightlessness, and orbital behavior. This book: * Helps you think like a physicist so you can understand why things really work the way they do * Gives you relevant examples so you can fully grasp the principles before moving on to more complex concepts * Designed to be used as a supplement study guide for the College Board's Advanced Placement Physics B Exam * Introduces principles for the purpose of solving real-world problems, not memorization * Teaches you how to measure, observe, calculate -- and yes -- how to do the math * Covers scientific notation, SI units, vectors, motion, momentum conservation, Newton's Laws, energy conservation, weight and mass, gravitation and orbits, circular motion and simple harmonic motion, and much more If "Myth Busters" and other TV programs make you curious about our physical world -- or if you're a student forced to take a physics course -- now you can pursue the subject without the dread of boredom or the fear that it will be over your head. Head First Physics comes to rescue with an innovative, engaging, and inspirational way to learn physics!
Synopsis
Wouldn't it be great if there were an introductory physics book that actually made the subject interesting? Finally, with "Head First Physics", there is. This unusual book takes the stress out of learning introductory physics by providing a fun and engaging experience, especially for students who 'just don't get it'. Why unusual? "Head First Physics" offers a format that's rich in visuals and full of activities, including pictures, illustrations, puzzles, stories, and quizzes. It's a very playful, mixed-media style proven to stimulate learning and retention. One look will convince you: this isn't mere theory, this is physics brought to life through real-world scenarios, simple experiments, and hypothetical projects.You'll quickly discover that physics isn't a dry subject. It's all about the world we live in, encompassing everything from bungee jumping to wireless networks.This book: satisfies the requirements for passing the College Board's Advanced Placement (AP) Physics B Exam; introduces principles so you can use them for problem solving, not memorization; helps you think like a physicist so you can understand why things really work the way they do; gives you relevant examples so you can fully grasp the principles before moving on to more complex concepts; teaches you how to measure, observe, calculate - and yes - how to do the math; and, covers a full range of principles - scientific notation, SI units, vectors, motion, momentum conservation, Newton's Laws, energy conservation, weight and mass, gravitation and orbits, fluid mechanics, circular motion and simple harmonic motion, and much more.If "Myth Busters" and other TV programs make you curious about our physical world - or if you're a student forced to take a physics course - now you can pursue the subject without the dread of boredom or the fear that it will be over your head. "Head First Physics" comes to rescue with a fun, engaging, and inspirational way to learn physics!

Format:Taschenbuch
I had quite a nice time learning with this book. All chapters cover a certain theme and you learn these by doing exercises consecutively. I recommend you to get some information about the book's series - Head First- ,and its approach to learning, before actually buying this book, since it may turn out to be a learning method you dont like. Unfortunately important issues like magnetism respectively the science of electricity are not covered in this book. So be also advised to fly over the table of contents.

There are too many "funny" pictures, so you don't see the wood for the trees. The pictures confuse the reader. The book is bad organized. I don't like it. Some parts of physics are not in the book, like electricity. I give 2-3 points, because some things are good explained.

Read the entire title before purchasing
25. Oktober 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
This book is as good any of the Head First books I have purchased and used. In this case I used it to tutor some kids in the mechanics portion of physics. However, be sure to read the ENTIRE title - "Head First Physics: A Learner's Companion to Mechanics and Practical Physics". Thus the emphasis is on the mechanics portion of physics and the tone is practical in nature. There is enough rigor there, but the tone is conversational as in all of the Head First books by O'Reilly.
If you are looking for a tutorial on optics, acoustics, electricity and magnetism, and the rest of what composes a college freshman two-semester sequence on general engineering physics prepare to be disappointed - very disappointed. However, that is not what the author is selling you. I wouldn't recommend this as a stand-alone text - I don't think it is rigorous enough to be that. However, as a supplement to a standard college physics text on the mechanics portion of physics, I think it does a great job. It turns the incomprehensible into something that a good student willing to put forth some effort can understand and turns all of the talk of vectors and forces into an approach to mechanics problems that the student can use to attack most mechanics problems. For that purpose I highly recommend it. The student doesn't need to know calculus. The highest mathematics used is trigonometry. The following is the table of contents that is currently unavailable in the product description:
Chapter 1. think like a physicist
Chapter 2. making it all MEAN something
Chapter 3. scientific notation, area, and volume
Chapter 4. equations and graphs
Chapter 5. dealing with directions
Chapter 6. Displacement, Velocity, and Acceleration
Chapter 7. Equations of motion (part 1)
Chapter 8. Equations of motion (part 2)
Chapter 9. triangles, trig and trajectories
Chapter 10. momentum conservation
Chapter 11. weight and the normal force
Chapter 12. using forces, momentum, friction and impulse
Chapter 13. torque and work
Chapter 14. energy conservation
Chapter 15. tension, pulleys and problem solving
Chapter 16. circular motion (part 1)
Chapter 17. circular motion (part 2)
Chapter 18. gravitation and orbits
Chapter 19. Oscillations (part 1)
Chapter 20. Oscillations (part 2)
Chapter 21. think like a physicist
Appendix A. leftovers
Appendix B. equation table

Great Book For Anyone Wanting To Have FUN Learning Physics!!!
5. Dezember 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
'Head First Physics: A Learner's Companion to Mechanics and Practical Physics' is a wonderful book for anyone that wants to learn physics in a fun and practical way. This book is geared toward new learners or basic ones that want to learn without knowing they are doing so. Instead of a bland 1,500+ page book with just text regarding Newton and the other great minds, you get a USABLE book that is FUN FUN FUN. I love the Head First books because they present subject matter in a way that is DIFFERENT. Written by an experienced academic, Heather Lang writes in a format that is truly a delight. If you are looking for a masters Physics book you will be disappointed. If you are young, in high school or just an adult that wants to learn more in a BETTER way this book is a gem.
***** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

If you're in high school or college and struggle with physics concepts, HEAD FIRST PHYSICS is a recommended pick
9. Dezember 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
If you're in high school or college and struggle with physics concepts, HEAD FIRST PHYSICS is a recommended pick. It provides a lively connection between physics theory and the world we live in, examining basic concepts, using the latest research in learning theory to enliven presentations, and covering math and physics concepts using lively black and white drawings, photos, and large-size graphs. An outstanding physics survey evolves.
