Content

This book covers fundamental topics in classical physics and provides an introduction to modern physics. The book is divided into six parts.

Part 1 (Chapters 1 to 14) deals with the fundamentals of Newtonian mechanics and the physics of fluids;

Part 2 (Chapters 15 to 18) covers oscillations, mechanical waves, and sound;

Part 3 (Chapters 19 to 22) addresses heat and thermodynamics;

Part 4 (Chapters 23 to 34) treats electricity and magnetism;

Part 5 (Chapters 35 to 38) covers light and optics; and

Part 6 (Chapters 39 to 46) deals with relativity and modern physics.

Objectives

This introductory physics textbook has three main objectives: to provide the student with a clear and logical presentation of the basic concepts and principles of physics, to strengthen an understanding of the concepts and principles through a broad range of interesting real-world applications, and to develop strong problem-solving skills through an effectively organized approach. To meet these objectives, we emphasize well-organized physical arguments and a focused problem-solving strategy. At the same time, we attempt to motivate the student through practical examples that demonstrate the role of physics in other disciplines, including engineering, chemistry, and medicine.
