Does anyone have a website or perhaps a book that has step by steps on the derivations of some of the physical equations? i.e. Newton's Inverse Square Law for gravity, etc. etc.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Thank you.

The problem with something like that is that some derivations are very simple and others are very long and difficult. For instance, I think you can derive ohm's law (V=IR) from Maxwell's equations, but it can be experimentally shown using a volte meter and some wire.

Your best off looking for each one on its own, rather than a big book/page of equations.
