Review

...an excellent high-level textbook that includes a number of topics that are not to be readily found elsewhere. I recommend it very highly for students who have studied General Relativity already... and who would like to gain a deeper mathematical insight into the subject.
Alan Heavens, The Observatory

"... A fairly comprehensive treatise in the field of relativity and cosmology. It covers topics seldom or never seen in textbooks of this kind and is therefore valuable for researchers."
Sigbjorn Hervik, Mathematical Reviews

"... an impressive and coherent account of many aspects of contemporary General Relativity theory."
Contemporary Physics

Discover Physics is a conceptual physics textbook intended for students in a non mathematical one-semester general-education course. For more information about the book, see its web page. The new version of Discover Physics is Conceptual Physics. I'm no longer actively maintaining Discover Physics, and I recommend that new adopters use Conceptual Physics instead.

Product Description

Conceptual Physics, Tenth Edition helps readers connect physics to their everyday experiences and the world around them with additional help on solving more mathematical problems. Hewitt's text is famous for engaging readers with analogies and imagery from real-world situations that build a strong conceptual understanding of physical principles ranging from classical mechanics to modern physics. With this strong foundation, readers are better equipped to understand the equations and formulas of physics, and motivated to explore the thought-provoking exercises and fun projects in each chapter. Included in the package is the workbook. Mechanics, Properties of Matter, Heat, Sound, Electricity and Magnetism, Light, Atomic and Nuclear Physics, Relativity. For all readers interested in conceptual physics.
