2. Astrophysics is Easy!: An Introduction for the Amateur Astronomer (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series) by Mike Inglis | |

Editorial Review Product Description Astrophysics is a subject that is often - with some justification - regarded as extremely difficult, requiring at least degree-level mathematics as a prerequisite to its understanding. Consequently, many amateur astronomers just don't bother, and miss out on the fascinating fundamentals of the subject, and often on an understanding of exactly what they are observing. Mike Inglis' quantitative approach to astrophysics cuts through all the incomprehensible mathematics, and explains all aspects of astrophysics in simple terms. A unique feature of this book is the way that example objects for practical observation are given at every stage, so that practical astronomers can go and look at the objected or objects under discussion, using only commercial amateur equipment.

Poor layout but good material In the chapters we covered relevant to Stellar Structures, I found that while these books contain pretty much everything you need to do a calculation, the material is so dense that you can pass right over an explanation. Volume I is entirely mathematical, all relevant formulas. The Index of the book is the worst part, you cant look up anything. It would be EXTREMELY helpful if he would fix that in a new edition. He also uses the same letter to represent different things within a chapter or subject. This gets annoying, but anyone in physics knows about this problem with any book you read. For example in the first chapter he uses 'K' to represent 5 things. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description Selecting simple examples and presenting them in a simultaneously intuitive and rigorous manner, Russell Kulsrud guides readers through a careful derivation of the results and allows them to think through the physics for themselves. Thus, they are better prepared for complex cases and more general results. The first eleven chapters present topics by their importance to plasma physics while the last three chapters emphasize the field's astrophysical applications, applying the results accrued earlier. Throughout, many problems illustrate the field's applications. Based on a course the author taught for many years, Plasma Physics for Astrophysics is intended for graduate students as well as for working astrophysicists. Customer Reviews (3)
