Customer Reviews

Excellent Book..!!! Highly Innovative..!!!

This is an excellent book both for a teacher as well as the student. It extensively uses modern technology for explaining the complex phenomena in Physics. The Authers have called it Physlets i.e. Physics Applets.The applets presented are highly interactive, and allow the student to interact and fully understand the behaviour changes by changing various parameters. It gives an excellent grasp of the topic under discussion and also gives a sound understanding of the concepts using visual medium. The authers need to be congratulated for their highly innovative and pioneering work simplifying the pedegogy of learning/teaching physics. Large number of illustrative examples. The reader can develop his/her own Physlets. Highly recommended.-Prof.M.G.BHATIA
