String Theory Simplified: What is Theoretical Physics?

This book provides a detailed look at the development, history, and current state of String Theory. However, unlike some books that are filled with equations and difficult math, the book is written in an easy to understand way and guides the reader through string theory. You are shown the equations (just so you know they exist and can see how difficult they are), but you are never asked to solve them.

We start with the easiest topics such as:

What is theoretical physics
What types of math do physicists use?

By the end of the book, we tackle cosmology, the Big Bang and black holes as they relate to string theory.

A basic understanding of scientific and mathematic terms is necessary. You should already be familiar with atoms, electrons, gravity and the mathematical principles of positive and negative. Thatâ€™s it! Everything else is explained.

Topics Covered Include:

What Types of Math?
Particles and Relativity
Why Did Strings Enter the Picture?
So What is String Theory Then?
How Many String Theories are There?
