The shortcomings of traditional print edition textbooks are obvious: For starters they're heavy, with the average physics textbook weighing 3.06 pounds.

tackle the demanding biology and physics courses

In physics, moving objects have two characteristics relevant to understanding the dynamics of energy systems: inertia and momentum.

For one thing, physics is a much different field today.

Einstein would furiously play his violin as a way to think through a knotty physics problem

He graduated at 17 with the first class degree in physics and mathematics.

It was a method of refrigeration which rolls from his work in low temperature physics

Later working together in London, they laid the foundations of modern physics by showing that normal laws of cause and effect do not apply at the level of subatomic particles.

For this he and his wife received the Nobel Prize for physics in 1910, and did so again in 1912 for their work on very high frequency radio waves

He is going to drop the physics course

He distinguished himself in low temperature physics

Kathy, chaos theory seems to be a branch of physics or mathematics.

In physics, one approach takes this impulse for unification to its extreme, and seeks a theory of everything-a single generative equation for all we see.

The US$3-million Fundamental Physics Prize is indeed an interesting experiment, as Alexander Polyakov said when he accepted this year’s award in March.

Many, like the Fundamental Physics Prize, are funded from the telephone-number-sized bank accounts of Internet entrepreneurs.
