The Quantum World: Quantum Physics for Everyone

The Quantum World: Quantum Physics for Everyone

<p>As Kenneth W. Ford shows us in <i>The Quantum World</i>, the laws governing the very small and the very swift defy common sense and stretch our minds to the limit. Drawing on a deep familiarity with the discoveries of the twentieth century, Ford gives an appealing account of quantum physics that will help the serious reader make sense of a science that, for all its successes, remains mysterious. In order to make the book even more suitable for classroom use, the author, assisted by Diane Goldstein, has included a new section of Quantum Questions at the back of the book. A separate answer manual to these 300+ questions is available; visit <i>The Quantum World</i> website for ordering information.</p><p>There is also a cloth edition of this book, which does not include the "Quantum Questions" included in this paperback edition.</p>
