A world-class physicist and a citizen scientist combine forces to teach Physics 101--the DIY way

"The Theoretical Minimum" is a book for anyone who has ever regretted not taking physics in college--or who simply wants to know how to think like a physicist. In this unconventional introduction, physicist Leonard Susskind and hacker-scientist George Hrabovsky offer a first course in physics and associated math for the ardent amateur. Unlike most popular physics books--which give readers a taste of what physicists know but shy away from equations or math--Susskind and Hrabovsky actually teach the skills you need to do physics, beginning with classical mechanics, yourself. Based on Susskind's enormously popular Stanford University-based (and YouTube-featured) continuing-education course, the authors cover the minimum--the theoretical minimum of the title--that readers need to master to study more advanced topics.

An alternative to the conventional go-to-college method, "The Theoretical Minimum" provides a tool kit for amateur scientists to learn physics at their own pace.

用户评价

适合初中生看。

试着看看

清晰，简洁，可以快速对经典力学甚至现代物理学的核心概念有个笼统的认识，满足好奇心是足够了。

简洁，直入主题

简洁和优雅，经典力学的最佳入门书。Susskind像一个导游，引领读者去欣赏理论物理之美。两个特征：1-数学只为物理服务，只在需要的地方引入，即使高中生也能跟上；2-他不仅会把知识讲清楚，还会结合历史背景，讲这个知识点的重要性以及它和其它知识的联系。当然，这本书没法训练读者的解题能力。网上有作者的公开课视频：http://theoreticalminimum.com/courses。
