This volume has been designed for students studying physics at examination level at 16+. The contents have been prepared to cover the following syllabuses: GCSE, IGCSE, CXC, and O-level. Each chapter contains core material with additional material specific to the various different syllabuses designated as "Further Topics". This enables the individual student or teacher to identify the right mix of pages, according to their own individual syllabus. The illustration style is deliberately international in flavour.

Reviews

"Those of us who have used Stephen Pople's previous text from Oxford - the equally optimistic Explaining Physics- will already appreciate his ability to focus, succintly and accurately, on the key points needed for understanding. Complete Physics retains this precision of argument, but good use of colour, illustrations and layout give a vibrant and interesting feel to the book which will lead many GCSE candidates to understand topics that they perceived as difficult. Enough detail is given so that the A* candidate has the necessary background, but the text is intelligible by those with lower aspirations. ...Stephen Pople has produced a book that will satisfy the requirements of all 16+ syllabuses, including IGCSE and O Level, in an accurate and readable way; students should enjoy using it whether they are working in a class or using the book for personal revision.
