The Book of Forces

This book is a powerful insight for how to look at the physical world in a rational, quantifiable way. It is written for regular people to understand and talks its way through the necessary formulae. I would recommend it to anyone with an interest in physics, anyone who is about to take a physics class, or anyone who simply wants to know more about how the world works.

Also a great refresher.

As I read through this book I thought 'wow wish I had this when I was I high school and college'. The presentation is straightforward, the math solutions are well presented and easily understandable. My problem comes with some of the author's concepts. With math at this level the author should know there is no such thing as centrifugal force (there is inertia and centripetal force) but there it is, even in a title no less. Also the author confuses mass and weight, another relatively basic and important distinction. So I ask myself, what other concepts are being misrepresented that I don't know enough about to recognize? Having said that, my opening remarks still hold; straightforward, clear math explanations which is a plus in anybody's book.

It is worth reading as a great introduction to the subject. Contents are explained in an easy to understand fashion!

Examples and explanations are clear and easily accessible to just about anyone with an interest in physics. So much so that I would like to make one suggestion to the author - Please write a similar book (or even a few pages) that addresses forces as applied to the field of amateur astronomy. I would very much like some help in understanding the rotation and orbits of planets, binary (or larger) star systems, even galaxies, and how it all interacts. Thank you!!

If you like physics or just applying maths this is a fun book. You can just browse through if you don't want to read it front to back. Many interesting equations with worked examples.

...for a book that expects to be trusted for having reliable formulae, the table of contents isn't numbered properly. I hope the other information within is correct!

The book was good, it is very much so for people who are unfamiliar with physics and are shy of math. The author holds your hand through any math, and is mostly algebra and trig in a few cases.

encore un livre de mektin betkas que je conseille a tout le monde. j'aimerais qu'il existe une version papier egalement.

Leitura fácil e útil. Recomendo para estudantes de engenharia mecânica ou demais que sentem necessidade de uma primeira abordagem sobre o tema. E embora seja prático, não é superficial.

Interessant ist die kurze und direkte Beschreibung der Kräfte, aber die Stärke liegt in den praxisnahen Berechnungsbeispiele. Wäre ideal für Lehrer als Unterrichtsstoff.

I got this text so I can be reminded of what, is there, I had become aware too.

It suits what I was looking for. I recommend it
