Physics I: The Gymnasium of the Mind provides undergraduate students with a valuable opportunity to acquire the knowledge and the abilities that are evaluated in the PISA project (Program for International Student Assessment) and will be indispensable in later professional and personal life. The objective of this book is to use carefully analyzed and selected phenomena and adequately designed didactic activities to enable students to become involved and discover that they can learn physics, and with the knowledge and abilities learned, allow them to grow intellectually, emotionally, and...

"The Higgs boson ... is the key to understanding why mass exists and how atoms are possible. After billions of dollars and decades of effort by more than six thousand researchers at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland--a doorway is opening into the mind-boggling world of dark matter and beyond. Caltech physicist and acclaimed writer Sean Carroll explains both the importance of the Higgs boson and the ultimately human story behind the greatest scientific achievement of our time"--Publisher.

'La fisica en preguntas' se centra en el enfoque cualitativo previo a los análisis teóricos, obligando así al estudiante (y al profesor) a pensar antes de recurrir automáticamente a las ecuaciones.
