<p><i>Physics Essentials For Dummies</i> (9781119590286) was previously published as <i>Physics Essentials For Dummies </i>(9780470618417). While this version features a new <i>Dummies</i> cover and design, the content is the same as the prior release and should not be considered a new or updated product. </p> <p>For students who just need to know the vital concepts of physics, whether as a refresher, for exam prep, or as a reference, <i>Physics Essentials For Dummies</i> is a must-have guide. Free of ramp-up and ancillary material, <i>Physics Essentials For Dummies</i> contains content focused on key topics only. It provides discrete explanations of critical concepts taught in an introductory physics course, from force and motion to momentum and kinetics. This guide is also a perfect reference for parents who need to review critical physics concepts as they help high school students with homework assignments, as well as for adult learners headed back to the classroom who just need a refresher of the core concepts.</p> <p><i><b>The Essentials For Dummies</b></i><b> Series</b><br />Dummies is proud to present our new series, <i>The Essentials For Dummies.</i> Now students who are prepping for exams, preparing to study new material, or who just need a refresher can have a concise, easy-to-understand review guide that covers an entire course by concentrating solely on the most important concepts. From algebra and chemistry to grammar and Spanish, our expert authors focus on the skills students most need to succeed in a subject.</p>
