Invaluable, it will never be more than an arm's length
from where
I work. Every, and I mean every, physicist needs a copy.
Dr David Hughes, University of Sheffield |
A real gem of a book. Compactly arranged in an
attractive tabular style,
this handbook has just about every equation, definition and formula
that
you might want in doing undergraduate-level physics and astrophysics. I
really like it. It's one book I won't lend out.
Professor Paul Hodge, University of Washington, Seattle |
This handbook is a stimulating and crisp synopsis of
fundamental physics,
to be enjoyed with profit by beginner and expert alike.
Professor Adam Burrows, University of Arizona, Tucson |
An extremely useful collection of formulas from all
branches of physics.
Lecturers and students will find it invaluable.
Professor Andrew King, University of Leicester |
This book is worth its weight in gold. It gives not
only the formulas,
but each symbol in the formula is explained as to what it represents.
This
book helped change a C in Physics I to a B in Physics II in college
classes.
Best money I have invested in years.
From Amazon.com |
This book is EXTREMLY useful, it has helped imensely.
It has all the
equations you need (plus some you don't), all in one space with out
searching
through a giant text book looking for a tiny equation. Well worth the
money.
From Amazon.co.uk |
Incredibly useful. Most of the formulas you're likely
to need, and if it's not in here you can always derive it! Easy to
understand format with good subject headings and notes to explain the
terms used if they are new.
Likely to be on the "suggested" booklist for any department that sees
it, this book hardly ever left my side at uni and is still useful.
From Amazon.co.uk |
A useful reference work, packed with data as well as
equations.
Cern Courier |
The author has produced a book which should be in every
physics library,
and which professional physicists as well as students should think of
adding
to their personal libraries.
European Journal of Physics |
This book is one of the
best, and I mean best, purchases I have ever
made. It provides clear, consistent tables of physical values and
equations, which can be a godsend in a land of inconsistent, confusing,
and sometimes odd notation. Also useful is its Rosetta Stone-esque
conversion table, which shows the values of myriad measures (including
the US and UK values of the firkin, should one ever need to know,) into
nice, clean SI units. The comprehensive index and well organized
sections make finding the proper equation easy as well. This
book has been useful in practically all of my physics coursework so
far, and I anticipate it remaining a useful reference beyond my
undergraduate years.

Here is one of the most useful books of its type, an
essential aid
in all physics research as well as problem solving. A must for
every
physicist and astrophysicist.
Professor Douglas Lin, University of California, Santa
Cruz |
Erudite, comprehensive and spiced with humour this is
an incredibly
useful compilation. A gem of a book.
Professor Antony Hewish, University of Cambridge |
More than a mere reference, this book is a great
refresher course in
undergraduate physics.
Professor Douglas Heggie, University of Edinburgh |
This book is a must for every physicist - it contains
virtually every
equation, constant and quantity definition any undergraduate or
lecturer
will ever need. It is an excellent revision aid, and great all-purpose
reference guide. Set out in appropriate sections according to the
branch
of the science, and brilliantly presented in an easy to find manner.
Every
physicist should equip themselves with this volume.
From Amazon.co.uk |
En Neuf chapitres et un index très complet, cet
ouvrage résume
l’essentiel de la physique moderne, tout au moins celle que l’on peut
mettre
en équations. Fort utile pour tous ceux dont la
mémoire
flanche parfois ou qui doivent s’aventurer dans des domaines
éloignés
du leur.
La Recherche |
All physicists need equations, just like animals need
meals. And when
the equation hunger arises, and you want to satisfy it quickly,
efficiently
and satisfactorily, Woan’s book is what is required. The
Cambridge
Handbook of Physics Formulas is just the ticket for the efficient
undergraduate physicist and engineer.
Times Higher Education Supplement |
The Cambridge Handbook of Physics Formulas is one of
the most useful
books that any Undergraduate Physics student could ever use. It
contains
virtually all the key equations needed as well as a plethora of
mathematical
identities. It also has important constants, units, and conversions, as
well as a very nice section on dimensions. However, the preface's
warning
ought to be heeded - it states that the book is designed to be a
reference
for when you already understand the physics involved and not to teach
new
physics. It is intended to 'quickly deliver the relationship they [the
reader] require in a format that avoids the need to sift through pages
of rubric.' Woan certainly delivers this in the book, and I have yet to
find a better source for this purpose. 10/10
