精彩书摘

In A Brief History of Time， Stephen Hawking relates that he was warned against includingequations in the book because each equation， would halve the sales. Despite this direprediction there is， for a scientific audience， some attraction in doing the exact opposite.
The reader should not be misled by this exercise. Although the equations and formulascontained here underpin a good deal of physical science they are useless unless the readerunderstands them. Learning physics is not about remembering equations， it is about appreci-ating the natural structures they express. Although its format should help make some topicsclearer， this book is not designed to teach new physics； there are many excellent textbooksto help with that. it is intended to be useful rather than pedagogically complete， so thatstudents can use it for revision and for structuring their knowledge once they understandthe physics. More advanced users will benefit from having a compact， internally consistent，source of equations that can quickly deliver the relationship they require in a format thatavoids the need to sift through pages of rubric.
