Demonstrating Science with Soap Films

Many of us have been fascinated as children by soap bubbles and soap films. Scientists and mathematicians have been interested in the properties of bubbles and films throughout scientific history. In Demonstrating Science with Soap Films David Lovett describes how the properties of soap films and bubbles can illustrate and elucidate a wide range of physical principles and scientific phenomena.Whilst much of the mathematics employed to explain concepts is at high school level, the more advanced topics are boxed and so may be omitted by readers without the appropriate mathematical background.
