Présentation de l'éditeur
Harvard College known as Physics C, and the experiments here detailed are based upon those performed in that course. The same course is given in the Summer School of Harvard University, beginning usually the first week in July and continuing six weeks, attended mainly by teachers. As given in college it requires 180 hours spent in the laboratory, and the student is held accountable for 90 hours of outside study. A knowledge of algebra and plane geometry, and a slight acquaintance with the notation of trigonometry is necessary. It should properly be preceded also by a more elementary course in physics, either by laboratory or text-book, preferably the former. For this purpose is recommended the quantitative course outlined in AT ext-B ook of Physics, Hall Bergen, Holt Co., New York. This course has for some time been in use most successfully as the laboratory alternative of the elementary physics required for admission to Harvard College. The course outlined in the following pages is designed to immediately follow this in college and to fit for the more advanced courses. It corresponds also to what is known as the advanced admission requirements in physics. This manual, intended for students use, has been given the form of an abstract of the daily lectures preceding the laboratory work and describing the experiments to be performed. It is intentionally condensed. A more extended treatment would render the book unwieldy and inconvenient for ready reference, and would perhaps allow the laboratory work to be a thoughtless following of too complete directions.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
