SIX IDEAS THAT SHAPED PHYSICS is the 21st Century's alternative to traditional, encyclopedic textbooks. Thomas Moore designed SIX IDEAS to teach students: --to apply basic physical principles to realistic situations --to solve realistic problems --to resolve contradictions between their preconceptions and the laws of physics --to organize the ideas of physics into an integrated hierarchy

5A Fantastic University Series  Sep 14, 2007 By Corey C. Griffin "Corey Griffin"
I took New York State Regents physics in 11th grade back in high school. I've always had a skill for math, but after taking Regents physics all I thought was, "Meh, that was fun." When I got to college I decided to give physics another go, and since I had some advanced math experience, I chose a course called University Physics (which is calculus based, over the strictly algebra based "College Physics"). Moore's Six Ideas were the required texts -- the first three units (C, N, and R) covered in the first semester, and units E, Q, and T in the second semester.

Moore's books literally changed my life. After taking University Physics, I fell in love with the subject again, and am now a junior undergraduate majoring in both math and physics. My only regret is that I sold Moore's texts back after completing the course, as I needed the money. I wish I still had them for references, and chances are I will end up buying the set again for just that.


1Find a Different Textbook  Dec 23, 2011 By Anonymous
Moore manages to make the laws of conservation unintuitive. The writing is overly wordy and convoluted. The only reason I was able to pass a class with this textbook is because I was relying on my high school physics. Those who had never taken a physics course were lost and lacking the necessary fundamental understanding in physics.

4Conservation law  Sep 07, 2008 By L. Wei
This is a non-traditional introductory physics text, it's the first book will be used in the first semester of cal-base physics. It's a great book, but sometimes depends on the teaching style of the professor. Some part of the book is somewhat confusing, and using 14 lecture time to get through conservation law and interaction seems a bit tedious than usual.
