World of Physics
End of term exams may be terrifyingly soon for many students. If Gentle
Members have deer-caught-in-the-headlights family members in need of
physics support, this renowned website by Dr. Eric Weisstein may provide
some supplemental material.
"Eric Weisstein's Treasure Trove of Physics . . . has been assembled over
more than a decade by internet encyclopedist Eric W. Weisstein with
assistance from the physics and internet communities. [The website is]
written and maintained by the author as a public service for scientific
knowledge and education. Although it is often difficult to find
explanations for technical subjects that are both clear and accessible,
this web site bridges the gap by placing an interlinked framework of
mathematical exposition and illustrative examples at the fingertips of
every internet user." - from the website
This outstanding resource covers such topics as thermodynamics, fluid
mechanics, wave motion, electromagnetism and astrophysics among others.
Each category contains further subject listings with relevant definitions
and appropriate equations. Additional information is provided on history,
terminology, units and dimensional analysis. The over 2,000 entries are
conveniently cross-referenced.
