The reason I know so much is that when I was younger I had several years of formal education in physics at college level (and before that at school level). This included an undergraduate degree followed by a master's degree in physics (from Imperial College London) where we covered classical mechanics (both analytical mechanics using Lagrangian/Hamiltonian formulations as well as Newtonian mechanics), electrodynamics (classical as well as special relativity), quantum mechanics (non-relativistic), statistical mechanics (including thermodynamics), quantum field theory (including relativistic QED) as well as other subjects such as nuclear physics. The reason I remember so little is because after finishing my master's degree I stopped studying physics completely. This means that while my brain still has all this information stored away somewhere deep inside it (as long term memory) it's very difficult to retrieve it when needed because it hasn't been used recently enough for it to still be stored as working memory. This problem isn't unique to me. Many people who study physics at university go on to use it professionally only rarely or not at all. For example someone who studied physics but then went into finance probably only uses their physics knowledge when they're playing pool or golf on weekends. I've noticed that many people who studied physics at university but don't use it professionally often complain about not being able to remember what they learned. For example one of my friends told me that he'd forgotten almost everything he learned about quantum mechanics after only a few years since leaving university. This book aims to help people like me (and my friend) by providing a way to review key concepts from physics in order to refresh our memory so that we can still use our knowledge even if we haven't used it recently. \section{Aims} The main aim of this book is to provide an overview of key concepts from physics that will help refresh my memory so that I can still use my knowledge even if I haven't used it recently. The book will cover topics such as classical mechanics (both analytical mechanics using Lagrangian/Hamiltonian formulations as well as Newtonian mechanics), electrodynamics (classical as well as special relativity), quantum mechanics (non-relativistic), statistical mechanics (including thermodynamics), quantum field theory (including relativistic QED) as well as other subjects such as nuclear physics. I'll try to keep things simple by focusing on key concepts rather than going into too much detail about each topic. This means that some topics may be covered only briefly while others may be covered more extensively depending on how important they are for refreshing my memory. \section{Audience} This book is aimed at people who studied physics at university but don't use it professionally anymore. It's also aimed at people who want to learn more about physics but don't have time for a full course or textbook. The book should be accessible enough for anyone with a basic understanding of mathematics (including calculus) but not too basic that someone who already knows some advanced mathematics would find it boring. \section{Structure} The book will be divided into chapters covering different topics within physics. Each chapter will start with an introduction explaining why this topic is important for refreshing my memory followed by sections covering key concepts related to this topic. I'll try to keep things simple by focusing on key concepts rather than going into too much detail about each topic. This means that some topics may be covered only briefly while others may be covered more extensively depending on how important they are for refreshing my memory.<|file_sep|>\chapter{Units} \label{ch:units} \section{Basic Units} In SI units mass has units \si{\kilogram}, length has units \si{\metre}, time has units \si{\second}.

It provides us with tools to predict future states of motion based on initial conditions such as position, velocity etc., given certain assumptions about what kind(s)of force(s) act upon them. Forces arise from interactions between objects - either directly through contact forces like gravity; electromagnetic forces due electrostatic charges etc., indirectly via fields created by sources such radiation pressure exerted by light waves. We'll start by looking at Newton's laws before moving onto more advanced topics including Lagrangian & Hamiltonian formulations along with variational principles. To do so let us first define some basic concepts: Position : A point representing location within space Velocity : Rate at which position changes w.r.t time Acceleration : Rate at which velocity changes w.r.t time Force : Influence causing change in motion Mass : Measure of amount matter contained within object Time : Continuous variable describing duration between events Let us now state Newton's laws: First Law - A body at rest remains at rest unless acted upon by an external force. Second Law - Force equals mass times acceleration ($F=ma
