A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The course presented in this book, and in theL ist of Lahoror torij Experiments, which is published in a separate volume, has grown out of the actual needs of the elementary work in physics in the University of Chicago, particularly in the University High School of theS chool of Education and the affiliated secondary schools. I ts most characteristic features have been on trial for three or four years in more than a score of different secondary fechools in various parts of the country. The books represent primarily an attempt to give concrete expression to a rapidly spreading movement to make high-school physics, to a less extent than it has been in the past, either a condensed reproduction of college physics, or a mathematical and mechanical introduction to technical science, and to a greater extent than it has heretofore been, a simple and immediate presentation, in language which the student already understands, of the hows and whys of the physical world in which he lives. A second aim has been to develop a course in which the laboratory and class-room phases of elementary instruction in physics are carefully differentiated and, at the same time, closely correlated. It is hoped that something may thus be done toward remedying the inadequacy which still exists in the laboratory instruction of many of the smaller schools. A very carefully selected and tested list of distinctively class-room demonstrations will be found to run through the book in fine print, while footnotes indicate the location and nature of the laboratory exercises which should be inserted. For the sake of definiteness and simplicity the references are made simply to the authors manual, though the exercises may be taken from any good laboratory text.
