Excerpt from The Elements of PhysicsThis 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.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
