STEM and A Journey into Modern Physics-LIGHT.

STEM Preparing for a rapidly evolving world

A Journey into Modern Physics-LIGHT edition has been adapted from the main series with STEM in mind to provide a wide range of topics in physics to help young students adapt from classroom science to higher levels of learning, including university.

The ethos behind STEM is to prepare school leavers to face a rapidly changing world, particularly in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.

There can be quite a jump from classroom teaching to lecture theatre instruction and this series is designed to help bridge the gap by providing a gentle introduction to stuff you probably already know - to subjects and concepts that are likely to be very new to you.

Regardless of which branch you want to follow; science, technology, engineering or mathematics; you will meet the world of physics, in all its glory, wherever your journey takes you, as physics is the basic science.

Just look at the breadth of the experience waiting for you in a Journey into Modern Physics-LIGHT, in terms of topics;

Atomic structure

Nuclear structure

Sub-atomic particles

The four fundamental forces of nature

Virtual particles as a means of providing simple descriptions of interactions

The Higgs field and the Higgs mechanism

How the universe started and how it is likely to end

The role of dark matter and dark energy in the universe

the cosmic web

The evolution of suns and galaxies

Neutron stars and black holes

The mechanisms by which fusion and fission release energy

Conservation laws

The basics of special relativity and general relativity

Space-time's true meaning and how to model in Minkowski space-time

The quantum world

Quantum computers

Building atoms in the periodic table

The multiverse

Thermodynamics and entropy

Symmetry in physics

The mysterious word of magnetism

The basics of semiconductor physics

How accelerators work and the future of the LHC

The enigmatic neutrinos

The particle zoo and how it led to the quark theory

....... and many more - too numerous to mention here.

And, on the same Journey into Modern Physics-LIGHT, you can meet the pioneers of physics from 1901 to 2024: who they are and what they did.

All this, packed into 20 chapters across three volumes and true to the principles of STEM, the down-loads are free for anyone enrolled in AMAZON's Kindle-Select programme.

Alternatively, you can purchase a down-load of each of the three volumes from your local AMAZON on-line store.

If you want to get ready for further education, even at the highest level, this series is for you.
