The study of astronomy offers an unlimited opportunity for us to
gain a deeper understanding of our planet, the Solar System, the
Milky Way Galaxy and the known Universe. Using the plain-language
approach that has proven highly popular in Fleisch's other
Student's Guides, this book is ideal for non-science majors taking
introductory astronomy courses. The authors address topics that
students find most troublesome, on subjects ranging from stars and
light to gravity and black holes. Dozens of fully worked examples
and over 150 exercises and homework problems help readers get to
grips with the concepts in each chapter. An accompanying website
features a host of supporting materials, including interactive
solutions for every exercise and problem in the text and a series
of video podcasts in which the authors explain the important
concepts of every section of the book.
Waves are an important topic in the fields of mechanics,
electromagnetism, and quantum theory, but many students struggle
with the mathematical aspects. Written to complement course
textbooks, this book focuses on the topics that students find most
difficult. Retaining the highly popular approach used in Fleisch's
other Student's Guides, the book uses plain language to explain
fundamental ideas in a simple and clear way. Exercises and
fully-worked examples help readers test their understanding of the
concepts, making this an ideal book for undergraduates in physics
and engineering trying to get to grips with this challenging
subject. The book is supported by a suite of online resources
available at www.cambridge.org/9781107643260. These include
interactive solutions for every exercise and problem in the text
and a series of video podcasts in which the authors explain the
important concepts of every section of the book.
The Laplace transform is a useful mathematical tool encountered by
students of physics, engineering, and applied mathematics, within a
wide variety of important applications in mechanics, electronics,
thermodynamics and more. However, students often struggle with the
rationale behind these transforms, and the physical meaning of the
transform results. Using the same approach that has proven highly
popular in his other Student's Guides, Professor Fleisch addresses
the topics that his students have found most troublesome; providing
a detailed and accessible description of Laplace transforms and how
they relate to Fourier and Z-transforms. Written in plain language
and including numerous, fully worked examples. The book is
accompanied by a website containing a rich set of freely available
supporting materials, including interactive solutions for every
problem in the text, and a series of podcasts in which the author
explains the important concepts, equations, and graphs of every
section of the book.

Gauss's law for electric fields, Gauss's law for magnetic fields,
Faraday's law, and the Ampere-Maxwell law are four of the most
influential equations in science. In this guide for students, each
equation is the subject of an entire chapter, with detailed,
plain-language explanations of the physical meaning of each symbol
in the equation, for both the integral and differential forms. The
final chapter shows how Maxwell's equations may be combined to
produce the wave equation, the basis for the electromagnetic theory
of light. This book is a wonderful resource for undergraduate and
graduate courses in electromagnetism and electromagnetics. A
website hosted by the author at www.cambridge.org/9780521701471
contains interactive solutions to every problem in the text as well
as audio podcasts to walk students through each chapter.
