In this original and integrated approach to Theoretical Reasoning in physics, Malcolm Longair illuminates the subject from the perspective of real Physics as practised by research scientists.
Through a series of seven case studies, an undergraduate course in classical Physics and the discovery of quanta are revie.
Concentrating on the basic insights, attitudes and techniques that are the tools of the modern physicist, this approach conveys the intellectual excitement and beauty of the subject.
