The Snail Science Series follows the same principles: starting from the basics, explaining fundamental scientific principles and latest scientific knowledge in an accessible way, focusing on learning methods and fostering interest. Approach it with questions from your daily life—no need to memorize theorems or rigidly recite formulas. It becomes less tedious and confusing, allowing you to effortlessly enter the fascinating, colorful, and vibrant world of science. This book is one of them. This book explains difficult physics terminology in an easy-to-understand way, focusing on simple and clear explanations of important equations or principles. Additionally, it uses numerous illustrations to enhance comprehension. The content of this book includes fundamental topics in physics such as mechanics, waves, heat, and electricity. To master physics, it’s a good idea to first get an overview of the subject. Moreover, although understanding physical phenomena can be challenging through the lens of a specific branch, many examples exist where changing perspectives after studying other branches leads to unexpected insights. A great example is the branch of quantum mechanics. Since quantum mechanics is an indispensable theory for understanding electronics, recent high school physics curricula have begun to cover the properties of fundamental particles. The appendix of this book explains the properties of fundamental particles in an easy-to-understand manner.
