<p><b>The essential primer for physics students who want to build their physical intuition</b><br><br>Presented in A. Zee''s incomparably engaging style, this book introduces physics students to the practice of using physical reasoning and judicious guesses to get at the crux of a problem. An essential primer for advanced undergraduates and beyond, <i>Fly by Night Physics</i> reveals the simple and effective techniques that researchers use to think through a problem to its solution¿or failing that, to smartly guess the answer¿before starting any calculations.<br><br>In typical physics classrooms, students seek to master an enormous toolbox of mathematical methods, which are necessary to do the precise calculations used in physics. Consequently, students often develop the unfortunate impression that physics consists of well-defined problems that can be solved with tightly reasoned and logical steps. Idealized textbook exercises and homework problems reinforce this erroneous impression.
