内容简介

An introduction to dimensional analysis, a method of scientific analysis used to investigate and simplify complex physical phenomena, demonstrated through a series of engaging examples.

This book offers an introduction to dimensional analysis, a powerful method of scientific analysis used to investigate and simplify complex physical phenomena. The method enables bold approximations and the generation of testable hypotheses. The book explains these analyses through a series of entertaining applications; students will learn to analyze, for example, the limits of world-record weight lifters, the distance an electric submarine can travel, how an upside-down pendulum is similar to a running velociraptor, and the number of Olympic rowers required to double boat speed.

The book introduces the approach through easy-to-follow, step-by-step methods that show how to identify the essential variables describing a complex problem; explore the dimensions of the problem and recast it to reduce complexity; leverage physical insights and experimental observations to further reduce complexity; form testable scientific hypotheses; combine experiments and analysis to solve a problem; and collapse and present experimental measurements in a compact form. Each chapter ends with a summary and problems for students to solve. Taken together, the analyses and examples demonstrate the value of dimensional analysis and provide guidance on how to combine and enhance dimensional analysis with physical insights. The book can be used by undergraduate students in physics, engineering, chemistry, biology, sports science, and astronomy.

通过一系列引人入胜的示例演示了尺寸分析入门，这是一种用于研究和简化复杂物理现象的科学分析方法。

本书提供了尺寸分析的简介，尺寸分析是一种用于研究和简化复杂物理现象的强大科学分析方法。该方法可以实现大胆的近似并生成可检验的假设。本书通过一系列有趣的应用程序解释了这些分析。学生将学习分析，例如，世界纪录的举重运动员的极限，电动潜水艇可以行驶的距离，上下摆如何与正在运行的速激肽相似，以及奥林匹克赛艇运动员的数量需要使船速翻倍。

本书通过易于遵循的分步方法介绍了该方法，该方法显示了如何识别描述复杂问题的基本变量。探索问题的范围并重铸以降低复杂性；利用物理见解和实验观察来进一步降低复杂性；形成可检验的科学假设；结合实验和分析来解决问题；折叠起来，以紧凑的形式呈现实验测量结果。每章结尾都有总结和需要学生解决的问题。综合起来，这些分析和示例演示了维分析的价值，并为如何结合和增强维分析与物理见解提供了指导。该书可供物理，工程，化学，生物学，体育科学，
