The Physics Companion is a revision aid and study guide for undergraduates in physics. It covers the core topics, deriving key concepts and equations in clear one-page figure-rich descriptions. Each sub-section contains a summary of the main equations, together with a set of worked examples. The topics covered include: Thermal Physics; Electricity and Magnetism; Waves and Optics; Mechanics; States of Matter; and, Quantum Physics. Intended as supporting material for other texts, this book will be an essential resource for undergraduate students throughout the course of their degree.
