Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A College Text-Book of Physics In offering this work to my fellow teachers, a word of explana tion is due. The book was undertaken some years ago when the writer felt the want of a text-book adapted to the needs of students taking the general first year course in college. As the work has slowly progressed several text-books of very similar aim have appeared, and it must be admitted that the call is not so impera tive now as formerly; and yet it is hoped that the treatment here presented may meet some still existing demand and so justify its existence. What may be called the physical rather than the mathematical method has been preferred in giving definitions and explana tions, because it is believed that the ideas presented are more easily grasped and more tenaciously held when the mind forms for itself a sort of picture of the conditions, instead of merely associating them with the symbols of a formula. There are many minds that do not easily grasp mathematical reasoning even of a simple sort; and it is often the case also that a student who may be able to follow an algebraic deduction step by step has very little idea of the significance of the whole when he reaches the end. Algebra is not his native tongue and it takes considerable time and experience for him to learn to think in it. And while all will agree that for the more advanced study of physics, mathematics is quite indispensable, many will grant that in a general course, which is to furnish to most of those taking it all that they will ever know of physics as a science, the ideas and reasonings should be presented as directly as possible and in the most simple and familiar terms. This then has been the central aim in the preparation of this book; to give the student clear and distinct conceptions Of the various ideas and phenomena of physics, and to aid him in think ing through the relations between them, to the end that he may see something of the underlying unity of the subject; and to carry out this aim in such a manner that students may not be repelled by any unnecessary prominence of symbolic methods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Text-Book of Physics The preparation of a work of this grade by the collaboration of several writers is a somewhat novel undertaking, and some explanation of its genesis will not be out of place. It represents the attempt of seven experienced teachers of college physics to prepare a text-book that would be more satisfactory to all of them than any existing one. It was, of course, hoped that such a book would also prove acceptable to other teachers. It seemed to the writers that there was a need, and there would be a place, for a work prepared in this way.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Elements of Physics, Vol. 1 of 3: A College d104-Book The beginner in Physics, if he is to be well taught, must study a text-book which contains concise statements of physical laws and a systematic development of. Principles. He must attend lectures or demonstrations in which the phenomena are shown, and finally he must enter the laboratory and make physical measurements. The present book deals only with the first part of this triple course of instruction. It differs in certain respects from many books which have been written for beginners. Descriptions of the numerous phenomena with which it is necessary for the student to become acquainted have been largely omitted; the assumption being that the study of the text will always be accompanied by, and indeed be supplementary to, a course of carefully arranged and fully illustrated lectures. A knowledge of the elements of the calculus, the natural language of physics, has been taken for granted, but the degree of mathematical experience of the undergraduate reader, necessarily limited, has been kept in view and the various proofs and the demonstra tions have been given the simplest possible form.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Text-Book of General Physics: For the Use of Colleges and Scientific Schools The class of students for which this text-book is designed is supposed to have a useful knowledge of trigonometry, but not of calculus. This is in agreement with the courses of instruction in most of our American colleges; but it has ordinarily the disadvantage of leaving rather a large inter val between the study of the philosophy of physics and the application of its principles to engineering. Especially true is this of thermodynamics and electricity where it is Often difficult for the student to recognize the fact that the un accustomed mathematical processes are simply easier means of attaining an understanding of a physical problem and not an end in themselves. For this reason the subjects men tioned are developed with somewhat more completeness than usual, so that the engineering student can find the essential notions of his advanced work logically connected with those acquired at an earlier time. Of course such an extension implies an exercise of choice on the 'part of the teacher as to what may be omitted in first reading with a class of which only a portion expects to pursue the subject farther. In Chapter XLI will be found a treatment, quite ele mentary in character, of the limiting powers of optical instruments. This is, of course, of great philosophical in terest, because it is by the means of such instruments that we attain the greatest enlargement of our intellectual horizon. Notwithstanding the simplicity of the exposition, it does-not seem to have been done before in unmathematical language.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essentials of Physics for College Students: A Textbook for Undergraduates and a Lecture Course and Reference Work for Teachers and Other Students of Physics IN this revised edition, the author has corrected typo graphical errors and made changes which no doubt will enhance the value of the book. The original purpose has been to present the principles of physics in a reasonably complete form, so selected as to round out the information of a well-educated man who is not aiming to qualify as an engineer or technical expert, but who nevertheless desires to be well informed in this branch of science. Especially has the author endeavored to make the sub ject of human as well as of technical interest to the student. It is hoped that this may help to make the book attractive to some who may feel that their knowledge of the subject is be coming impaired, as well as to those who are first acquiring their knowledge of it. In presenting a subject so broad and so varied as physics, no matter what material is selected there will always arise the question whether certain things that are omitted would not better have been included and others that are included might not better have been omitted. No choice can be made that will meet with universal approval. Quite as important, it seems to the author, is it to present any topic in a way that will give the student a proper conception of it and of its relation to the rest of the science.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Text-Book of Physics, Largely Experimental: On the Basis of the Harvard College "Descriptive List of Elementary Physical Experiments" IN the year 1886 Harvard College made a very impor tant change touching the physics in its requirements for admission. For many years candidates for the Fresh man class had been examined in physics, but in text-book physics only. It was now decided to establish a require ment of laboratory work to be recommended by the College in place of the text-book work, although the latter, con siderably increased, remained as an alternative for those who could not command laboratory facilities.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from College Physics In pursuance of the first of these purposes, that arrangement of topics has been chosen which, in the experience of the authors, has been found to lend itself most readily to a simple and natural presentation of the subject as a whole. Owing to the more obvious relations existing between them, the sub jcet of heat is made to follow immediately after the distinctly material phenomena of mechanics and sound; electricity pre cedes light, and the subject of radiation, usually found under the different chapters of heat, electricity and light, is treated separately after these subjects have been presented. It has also been thought best, even at the sacrifice of historical consist ency, to begin the subject of electricity with current electricity, in order to secure the advantage of the greater familiarity of the student with the phenomena of applied electricity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Text-Book of Physics: Largely Experimental; Including the Harvard College "Descriptive List of Elementary Exercises in Physics" The laboratory Exercises of the book are, save in a few unimportant particulars identical with those given in the Harvard Descriptive List of Elementary Exercises in Phys ics, as revised in 1903. The second edition of the book, issued in 1897, was divided into a First Part and a Second Part, the former intended for pupils a year or two younger than those tak ing the latter; and certain subjects, Liquids and Gases, Composition and Resolution of Forces, Gravity and Centre of Gravity, begun in the First Part were taken up again, for more thorough treatment, in the Second Part. The present edition, the third, abolishes this dis continuity and puts the substance of Chapters XIV, XV, and XVI of the second edition into the early part, thus shortening and simplifying the book. On the other hand, the Pendulum is put farther on, into connection with Mo mentum, etc. This rearrangement involves a renumbering of some of the Exercises, which are, for the most part, not greatly changed in their latest rev1s1on. Alongside the new number at the head of each Exercise its old number is given in parenthesis. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Text-Book of General Physics for Colleges Mechanics and Heat Some changes 'have been made in the form of the usual college text and in the method of presentation. The aim of the writer has constantly been to say the words that would help the student to understand the subject. Thus it is hoped that the book will prove to be not only a treatise but also a text - book for students. Reference matter and tables are placed in the appendix instead of being scattered through the text. This takes less room and is much more convenient for reference. A number of short lists of problems are found where they are needed to illustrate the application of principles learned. Answers to problems are given at the end of the lists, but a student should be, made to understand that numerical results are not so impor tant here as his ability to present the line of argument involved in the problem. The tables of Sines, cosines, tangents, etc., are intended to make the book more desirable as a complete working text. We acknowledge our obligation to the Ball Engine Co.

The outer ends of these nerves are exposed in such a way as to be excited or set into commotion by physical disturbances in the region surrounding the body. This commotion is transmitted to the central organs producing commotion there, and we perceive what we call a sensation. The physical disturbance which excites a nerve is called a stimulus.
