Whether it's mechanical vibrations and waves or atomic physics, Dietrich Pelte covers the fundamentals of physics and provides an overview of physical laws in nature. A clear presentation of physical methods makes it evident that these laws are universally applicable principles. For the reader, knowledge of mathematics at the upper secondary school level is sufficient to understand the relationships in nature between physical quantities in mathematical form. You will be specifically prepared for the exam in the minor subject of physics. The book introduces you to the fundamental knowledge of physics and the physical methods. It enables you to address subject-specific problems in biology and other scientific disciplines using physical methods. Here you will find everything you need to know about classical and modern physics as a biologist.
