Résumé

The Physics Companion is a revision aid and study guide for undergraduates in physics. It covers the core topics taught in undergraduate physics degrees world-wide, deriving key concepts and equations in clear one-page figure-rich descriptions. Each subsection contains a summary of the main equations, together with a set of worked examples.

The topics covered include

Thermal Physics
Electricity and Magnetism
Waves and Optics
Mechanics
States of Matter
Quantum Physics

It is not intended to be a course textbook, but instead should be used as supporting material for other texts. The book will be an essential resource for undergraduate students throughout the course of their degree.
