Harun Akon’s Classical Physics: Concepts, Applications, and Interpretations makes classical physics and its applications accessible and engaging, fostering a deeper understanding of fundamental physics concepts. Accessibly written, this book helps students understand and put core classical physics principles into practice, from classical mechanics to astrophysics to the basics of atomic, molecular, and chemical physics. Additionally, the book provides easy-to-understand methods for explaining orbital motion using the concept of jerk, and similarly explores negative pressure and its applications in various fields, tying in new interpretations of negative pressure as a fifth force in the universe. Classical Physics: Concepts, Applications, and Interpretations’ goal is to bridge the gap between classical physics and its applications in different disciplines, providing students and researchers with a more intuitive and accurate understanding of these fundamental concepts. The book includes structured content and corresponding applications and figures, complemented by simple experiments to bolster students’ understanding. From an explanation of orbital motion to navigating the thermodynamics of negative pressure to diving into artificial lunar motion, the book provides novel insights into these phenomena. This helpful first edition delivers engaging explanations and additions to the role and importance of classical physics in our modern understanding of the field. It is ideal for courses in physics, mathematics, and related subjects.

Modern Cosmology, Third Edition provides a detailed introduction to the field of cosmology. Beginning with the smooth, homogeneous universe described by a Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker metric, this trusted resource includes careful treatments of dark energy, big bang nucleosynthesis, recombination, and dark matter. The reader is then introduced to perturbations about an FLRW universe: their evolution with the Einstein-Boltzmann equations, their primordial generation by inflation, and their observational consequences: the acoustic peaks in the CMB; the E/B decomposition in polarization; gravitational lensing of the CMB and large-scale structure; and the BAO standard ruler and redshift-space distortions in galaxy clustering.This revised third edition includes updates such as new sections on gravitational waves, line intensity mapping, and emergent analysis techniques; expanded sections of CMB secondaries; and revised figures and pedagogy. These revisions serve to enhance a comprehensive foundational text, as well as provide users with improvements that are aligned with recent advances in the field, as well as modern focuses in the classroom.
