More great formulas explained : physics, mathematics

In this book you will find some of the greatest and most useful formulas that the fields of physics and mathematics have brought forth. Each formula is explained gently and in great detail, including a discussion of all the quanitites involved and examples that will make clear how and where to apply it. On top of that, there are plenty of illustrations that support the explanations and make the reading experience even more vivid. The book covers a wide range of topics: torque, car dynamics, escape velocity, cooling, sailing, river flow, wind-driven waves, heat radiation, main sequence stars, cylinders, standard deviation, Zipf distribution, and many more. From the author of "Statistical Snacks" and "Physics! In Quantities and Examples". This is volume II of the series "Great Formulas Explained". It is recommended, but not necessary, to start with volume I.
