Download or read book Physics written by George F. Barker and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-11-08 with total page 916 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Physics: Advanced Course The author's aim has been to avoid making the book simply an encyclopedic collection of facts on the one hand, or too purely an abstract and theoretical discus sion of physical theories on the other. The ground covered is that which is usually traversed by students in the more extended courses in Physics in our leading Universities, Colleges, and Technological Institutes. The mathematics required in the derivation of the for mulas is only that with which students taking such courses may be presumed to be already acquainted. Obviously, however, these derivations can be omitted at the discretion of the instructor. To facilitate the use of the book in the class-room most of the illustrative and explanatory matter is printed in a smaller type. With regard to the subject-matter of the book, the author lays no claim to any originality. He has made free use of all the sources of information at his com mand and has freely given credit for the material thus taken. The names of those physicists to whom the science is most deeply indebted are given in connection with the' subjects on which they have worked; and in order to bring the student into more intimate contact with these great minds, the laws or principles which they formulated have frequently been given in their ownwords. Especially has this been done in the case of American investigators. To make more easy a reference to these workers in science, their names have been in cluded in the index.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First Book in Physics The subjects that belong to physics. Physics is one of the most important branches of science. Many times every day we make use of some of its principles. All the motions of our bodies, whether in work or play, are made in accordance with these principles. The act of throwing a ball, running, skating, rowing, climbing a tree, swinging, falling, and so on, are all acts which may be explained by the principles and laws treated of in physics. All bodies fall to the earth; water runs down hill winds blow and the earth revolves about the sun. These are all problems in physics. Then there are a great number of machines which man uses in doing his work. The plough, wagon, locomotive, lathe, hammer, saw, wind wheels, water-wheels, sail-boats, steam-ships.

Download or read book A College Text Book of Physics Classic Reprint written by Arthur L. Kimball and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-18 with total page 708 pages. 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.

Download or read book The Elements of Physics Classic Reprint written by S. E. Coleman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-26 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Elements of Physics This book is intended as a text for a first course in physics. It presupposes a knowledge of elementary algebra and plane geometry, but requires no further mathematical training. While complete in itself as a text-book, it assumes the support of a systematic course of laboratory exercises essentially equivalent to the author's Physical Laboratory Manual.' The exercises in this manual are referred to by number in the body of the text, in connection with the topics which they serve to illustrate. The text and the manual together present a single, coherent course in elementary physics. The subject-matter has been selected with reference primarily to its value as a part of a general education, and includes an unusual amount of information based upon the facts of our daily experience, introduced as illustrations and applications of phys ical principles. This relieves the teacher from the necessity of providing for and supervising a considerable amount of reference reading, in order to rescue the subject from the uninteresting barrenness to which it has been reduced in many of the more recent text-books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The legacy of a country is in its varied cultural heritage, historical literature, developments in the field of economy and science. The top nations in the world are competing in the field of science, economy and literature. This vast legacy has to be conserved and documented so that it can be bestowed to the future generation. The knowledge of this legacy is slowly getting perished in the present generation due to lack of documentation.Keeping this in mind, the concern with retrospective acquiring of rare books has been accented recently by the burgeoning reprint industry. Maxwell Press is gratified to retrieve the rare collections with a view to bring back those books that were landmarks in their time.In this effort, a series of rare books would be republished under the banner, "Maxwell Press". The books in the reprint series have been carefully selected for their contemporary usefulness as well as their historical importance within the intellectual. We reconstruct the book with slight enhancements made for better presentation, without affecting the contents of the original edition.Most of the works selected for republishing covers a huge range of subjects, from history to anthropology. We believe this reprint edition will be a service to the numerous researchers and practitioners active in this fascinating field. We allow readers to experience the wonder of peering into a scholarly work of the highest order and seminal significance.

Download or read book A Text Book of Physics Classic Reprint written by S. E. Coleman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-25 with total page 678 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Text-Book of Physics The present tendency in physics teaching is to attach less importance to the formal and academic features of the subject, and to lay greater stress on the applications of physics in daily life. This change of front is in accord with the general movement in education which seeks to give the subjects of instruction a more useful content, drawn from the social and industrial life of the time. Judged by this standard, the kind of physics which views the util ities from afar or ignores them altogether is discredited. But a word of caution is clearly in order. A new truth is never the whole truth. The older physics had much to commend it, despite the caustic criticisms of zealous reformers; for the most practical thing in the world is the foundation of pure science upon which applied sci ence rests. T o eliminate or minimize the fundamentals while attempting to teach their applications is not to pro vide a royal road to learning, but a fool's highway to pretentious ignorance. Pure and applied Science are equally essential to a well rounded course. The one alone is barren; the other, when not well founded in the first, is superficial, disconnected, and trivial.
