Physics
Because uncertainty and probability are so important in quantum physics, you can’t fully appreciate the subject without getting into calculus. This book presents the need-to-know concepts, but you don’t see much in the way of thought experiments that deal with cats or parallel universes. I focus on the math and how it describes the quantum world. I’ve taught physics to many thousands of students at the university level, and from that experience, I know most of them share one common trait: Confusion as to what they did to deserve such torture. Quantum Physics For Dummies, Revised Edition largely maps to a college course, but this book is different from standard texts. Instead of writing it from the physicist’s or professor’s point of view, I’ve tried to write it from the reader’s point of view. In other words, I’ve designed this book to be crammed full of the good stuff — and only the good stuff. Not only that, but you can discover ways of looking at things that professors and teachers use to make figuring out problems simple. Although I encourage you to read this book from start to finish, you can also leaf through this book as you like, reading the topics that you find interesting. Like other For Dummies books, this one lets you skip around as you like as much as possible. You don’t have to read the chapters in order if you don’t want to. This is your book, and quantum physics is your oyster.
