Translated from Russian via Vitaly Kisin

This little publication concentrates at the foundations of contemporary physics (its “ABC's”) and its such a lot basic constants: c — the rate of sunshine and ℏ — the quantum of action.

First of all, the e-book is addressed to expert physicists, yet with the intention to in attaining maximal focus and readability it makes use of the easiest (high college) arithmetic. accordingly many pages of the publication can be worthwhile to school scholars and should attract a extra common audience.
