This book is specially written for students sitting for the Singapore Cambridge O Level Physics examination. A comprehensive coverage of all the topics in the latest 2007 syllabus, as well as a specimen examination paper, enable students to revise effectively and achieve success in their examinations.

This revision guide for A-level, AS-level and Higher Grade physics gives up-to-date syllabus coverage and advice on how to study and revise effectively. The book contains questions with student answers plus examiner commentary which aims to show typical mistakes, weaknesses of approach and desirable features. It includes questions with sample answers from the examiner and further practice questions. topics and themes and establish the important elements of each topic.

This book is written for the latest Physics GCE O Level syllabus. It is structured in a way to effectively increase the understanding of Physics concepts. The questions are grouped into units according to the major topics in the syllabus. Within each unit, similar questions are grouped together. In most groups, variables are added to each subsequent question to increase the difficulty level.

Intended for undergraduate non-science majors, satisfying a general education requirement or seeking an elective in natural science, this is a physics text, but with the emphasis on topics and applications in astronomy. The perspective is thus different from most undergraduate astronomy courses: rather than discussing what is known about the heavens, this text develops the principles of physics so as to illuminate what we see in the heavens. The fundamental principles governing the behaviour of matter and energy are thus used to study the solar system, the structure and evolution of stars, and the early universe. The first part of the book develops Newtonian mechanics towards an understanding of celestial mechanics, while chapters on electromagnetism and elementary quantum theory lay the foundation of the modern theory of the structure of matter and the role of radiation in the constitution of stars. Kinetic theory and nuclear physics provide the basis for a discussion of stellar structure and evolution, and an examination of red shifts and other observational data provide a basis for discussions of cosmology and cosmogony.

The 'Longman Science 11-14' series aims to put science into context both historically and in the modern world as well as reinforcing and consolidating learning through questions, summaries and investigation ideas.
