Infosys' Narayana Murthy recommends 'Conceptual Physics' for every child in India
Infosys founder NR Narayana Murthy has recently emphasized the importance of reading the book “Conceptual Physics” by Paul G. Hewitt for every child in India. Describing it as “absolutely brilliant,” the 77-year-old billionaire is currently reading this book himself and hopes for it to be translated into all Indian languages.
“I am right now reading a book called ‘Conceptual Physics.’ This is a book by a high school teacher called Paul Hewitt. It is written for high school students on how to teach physics. Next time I’ll show you that book. It’s brilliant. Absolute brilliant. I only wish we get permission from the author,” Murthy stated.
Murthy highlighted the need for translating more books into Indian languages to effectively communicate complex ideas. “We translate it to all Indian languages because there are excellent exercises, excellent way of communicating complex ideas. And I want every child from Meghalaya to Kanyakumari to Srinagar to Jamnagar to use these books, this kind of books and become so much better in STEM subjects,” he added.
First published in 1971, “Conceptual Physics” has gained prominence for its engaging use of analogies and imagery to explain principles ranging from classical mechanics to modern physics.
