Physics for Realists: Mechanics
| This first of its kind in 300 years textbook will enlighten you and your students. For advanced high school students and college freshmen. This textbook by Dr. Anthony Rizzi presents the fundamentals of Newtonian Mechanics to the college undergraduate or the advanced high school student in a way that taps the student's common sense. Starting with things we see directly, it leads the student to a deep understanding of the best in modern theory. Each chapter builds on the previous one in a simple way to the crescendo of special relativity, drawing the student at each step into the excitement of physics. This profound unity of principle is complemented by a unity of practice through the challenge of a manned mission to Mars by AD 2030, which is the current commitment of the US. Real world problems and examples salt the text, helping the student to ground his thinking and see the importance of physics to everyday life. It is the hope of the IAP that this approach will make the rigorous, scientific content at once engaging and challenging to both those interested in careers in the hard sciences and also those not traditionally attracted to mathematics and the hard sciences. (Prerequisite: Calculus) '..Rizzi has done an excellent job and I highly recommend that you experience this text..' AAPT's The Physics Teacher Vol. 47, May 2009 |
Physics for Realists: Electricity and Magnetism
Solutions Manual To Accompany Electricity And Magnetism Berkeley Physics Course Volume 2 book. Read reviews from world's largest community for readers.
| This second volume in the Physics for Realists Series grounds electricity and magnetism in common sense, making the material both more accessible and memorable. Through this approach, Dr. Anthony Rizzi leads the student to a deep understanding of the best in modern theory. Each chapter builds on the previous one in a simple way to the double crescendo of electromagnetic radiation and the relativistic underpinnings of electromagnetism. This profound unity of principle is complemented by a unity of practice through the challenge of understanding, designing and building a radio transmitter! The overarching practical theme of the manned mission to Mars initiated in volume one is continued. Also, as in the first volume, real world problems and examples salt the text, helping the student to ground his thinking and see the importance of physics to everyday life. Prerequisite: Physics for Realists: Mechanics. N.B.: the common sense approach brings out the primacy of the electric potential and magnetic (vector) potential, which are both used extensively. Dielectrics and Magnetics are both covered. 'Physics for Realists is a landmark series that uses our common sense to discover and clarify modern physical theory. The resulting pedagogical approach makes physics more accessible and its beauty more evident. This series will revolutionize our understanding of physics and the way it is taught.' -Murray Daw, Bowen Prof. of Physics, Clemson University. |
Physics for Realists: Quantum Mechanics
| This third volume in the Physics for Realists series grounds quantum mechanics in common sense! Quantum mechanics (QM) is perhaps the most distant subject from our senses, as it deals with the atomic-level parts of physical things. As such, it has generated some of the most widely known deviations from common sense, including the idea that things are not anything till we measure them, which caused Erwin Schrödinger to produce the paradox of the cat that is neither dead nor alive to reveal and ridicule such craziness. Through the grounded approach, Dr. Anthony Rizzi leads the student to a deep understanding of the best in modern theory. Each chapter builds on the previous one to a discussion of Bell's EPR experiment that brings out how first principles shed light on this central arena of the foundations of QM. New understanding and insights permeate the book; these arise from years of research, thinking from those first principles we get through the senses. Very new subjects, such as the latest ground breaking discoveries (for which Dr. Rizzi and Dr. Pearle are responsible) about that quintessential quantum effect, the Aharonov-Bohm Effect, are discussed. The profound unity of principle of the text is complemented by a unity of practice through the challenge of understanding an x-ray based mineral composition analyzer for use on Mars. The overarching practical theme of the manned mission to Mars initiated in the first two volumes is thus continued. Prerequisite: Physics for Realists: Mechanics and Physics for Realists: E&M. |

A Kid's Introduction to Physics (and Beyond)
| This book (70 pages softcover 6'x8' with 14 font) introduces young people to physics starting with their natural wonder about the things around them. It builds on their common sense, making it clear and precise, and shows them how to go from their common sense to the advanced method of modern science. Finally, it shows them the need for the Unchangeable Changer, without which there is nothing. It shows that only through knowing physics do we know about Him. It shows how this world proves that He exists and that He is the Source of all the changing things we see. Readers will learn that physics is the base science and thus essential to all of their thinking. The book is appropriate for children as young as sixth grade but is targeted for seventh and eighth grade. Kids in higher grades and even adults will also enjoy it. This book answers the oft heard questions 'Why do I need to learn physics?' and 'Why do I need to learn math?' in a direct and charming way. 'This book is simply written in such a way that kids will enjoy reading it. Through their reading, they will discover how relevant and needed the book is to their understanding of the whole world and our place in it. They will discover the big picture that cannot be found anywhere else. Everyone should read this book.' -Mrs. Connie Firner, teacher, 34 years experience in public schools, Excellence in Teaching Award recipient |

A Kid's Introduction to Physics (and Beyond) Volume II
(107 pages softcover 6'x8' with 14 font) Having learned about the physical world at the most general level in the first volume, this second volume introduces young people to the next level of physics. It starts with their natural wonder about the things around them. It builds on their common sense, making it clear and precise, and leads them to taste the advanced method of modern science. In answering the question of how and why a baseball flies from your hand when you throw it, it introduces mechanics, electricity and magnetism and quantum mechanics at a very simple level. The student will even learn how to make a motor. And, he will learn more about the nature of the Unchangeable Changer, without Whom there is nothing. The book is extremely important, as physics is the base science upon which all of our thinking builds, including our knowledge of Him. The book is appropriate for children as young as sixth grade but is targeted for seventh and eighth grade. Kids in higher grades and even adults will also enjoy it. 'This book is chock-full of profound truths! The reader will discover wonderful truths about the various forces acting in our amazing universe and be inspired to meditate on the order found among them. Readers will learn the answers to fundamental questions that are not even being asked anywhere else, making this book a must read for teachers and students alike. All students need to know the basic physics contained in this series; without it, they cannot truly understand the modern world in which we live or the ideas that are forging our future.'-Anthony DiCarlo, teacher, 10 years experience in public schools, Teacher of the Year awardee |

Magnet Levitating Above A Superconducting Ring: The image shows a permanent magnet levitating above a conducting non-magnetic ring with zero resistance. The magnet is levitated by eddy currents induced in the ring by the approaching magnet. These currents are always such as to repel the magnet, by Lenz Law. (Image courtesy of Prof. John Belcher.)
