From a prize-winning scientist and communicator, a landmark project in popular science publishing.

To understand black holes, you need to understand general relativity, which means you need to understand tensor calculus, which means you need to understand vector calculus, not to mention the basics of algebra and geometry. So you spend years learning maths, or you skip to the good stuff but only get a watered-down version?

Not necessarily. In this new series, prize-winning physicist Sean Carroll introduces the reader to some of the most interesting ideas and cutting-edge physics - all without the maths homework. From Galileo and Euclid to Newton and Einstein, Classical Physics is the first step in a journey through the most central and relevant ideas in physics.
