Présentation de l'éditeur

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 authors 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 physical principles. This relieves the teacher from the necessity of providing for and supervising a considerable amount of reference reading, morder to rescue the subject from the uninteresting barrenness to which it has been reduced in many of the more recent text-books. The sequence of topics, especially in mechanics, was chosen with the view of presenting the serious difficulties of the subject gradually and in the easiest order. This purpose has led to a wide departure from the conventional treatment of mechanics, which introduces a bewildering maze of abstractions at the outset in connection with Newton slaws of motion. An examination of the book will easily disclose the authors reasons for the order of the major subdivisions.
