PHYSICS FOR DUMMIES November 11, 2006

I FOUND THIS TO BE A REALLY VALUABLE QUICK REFERENCE TO USE WHEN TRYING TO
EXPLAIN SOME OF THE MORE COMPLEX CONCEPTS FOUND IN FLUID MECHANICS.
THE MATH IS KEPT TO A MINIMUM, BUT PRIOR MATH EXPOSURE IS MOST HELPFUL.
I DID NOTICE SOME CONFUSION IN CHAPTER TWO (2) WHERE AN EXPLANATION TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS IS GIVEN, THIS IS A MINOR THING BUT MAY CAUSE PROBLEMS TO THE UNFAMILAR STUDENT.
ALL IN ALL THIS IS A VERY GOOD BOOK AND I RECOMEND IT TO ALL.
 it will help you September 4, 2006

This is a very neat and clear guide. It explains almost everything.
It shows you the steps clearly, it repeats equations that were written before every time that it is needed. It doesn't jump quickly into something new. It writes why to use these equations. Everything suddenly makes sense.
What is missing from this book is practice. It would be nice to have something to solve for yourself and then check in the back if the solution is correct. However it gives good examples.

This book has been a great help to me in providing me with the general physics knowledge I need for my non-physics profession.
It also refreshed my knowledge of important discoveries in physics history and the math behind physics. A clear, fast and enjoyable immersion into the laws of the universe! I recommend it very highly to students and readers at many levels.

This book was purchased as a gift item and the recipient is very pleased with it. Have been told that it is providing exactly the base of information that is needed for her particular situation.
Physics For Dummies by Kimberly C. Zimmermann March 6, 2004
Steven Dunney (Southern California)
7 out of 40 found this review helpful
I was fortunate enough to know the author and able to get a copy of the unpublished (unedited) book, "Physics For Dummies," by Kimberly Zimmermann and found this book invaluable in understanding concepts of college freshman physics while feeling bogged down with equations in the class room. I especially liked the "at home" experiments outlined in the book using only objects you have lying around your house. I passed the book along to a friend who took the class a year later who also found it helped him tremendously with the concepts of physics often lost in all the equations you are bombarted with while in class. What was especially neat was how the table of contents of the "Physics For Dummies" book written by Kimberly C. Zimmermann followed the freshman text, Holiday and Resnick'stable of contents makingh it easy to reference and supplement my reading. I was going to order the book to keep it as a reference, however, the author (a friend of mine) has informed me that when the book finally does get printed and arrive on my door step it's highly likely it will not be the book she wrote; that what I order will most likely end up being an entirely different book from an entirely different author. This is disturbing.
