Description:“Physics, the Pioneer Science” effected a revolution in the teaching of physics, when it first appeared in 1941. For the first time, a thorough text covering all important physical phenomena was placed in a cultural-historical framework. So complete is Professor Taylor’s treatment that it continues to be perhaps the best work of its kind. The book is first and foremost an exposition of physical laws and theories.They are developed chronologically, however, so that in mechanics, heat, sound, light, and electricity, each discovery and theory is seen to stand on the shoulders of the one preceeding it. Great historical and illustrative experiments are diagrammed, described, and worked out mathematically, with problems given at chapter ends. This progressive method not only aids the student in learning the subject, through giving it meaning, but it conveys the movement and growth of physics. For the non-physics major, the book offers a rigorous introduction to all major divisions of the subject, and enables the student to relate the work to other areas of study. For the specialist in science, it shows the historical and current relations between various fields within physics, a study often overlooked in the stress of specialization. For the person desiring to study by himself, this text is eminently readable, without sacrifice of mathematical and experimental exposition.VOLUME I: MECHANICS, HEAT, SOUND. Partial contents: Motion, Free Fall, Equilibrium, Vectors, Weight, Mass, Acceleration, the Infinitely Large, Gravitation, Atomism, Harmonic Motion, Conservation of Energy, Rotation, Temperature, Thermal Expansion, Heat and Mechanical Energy, Heat Engines, Sound, Acoustics of Rooms, Pitch, Intensity of Sound, Quality of Musical Tone, other topics. Index. 211 illustrations. xii + 395pp. 5 ⅜ x 8.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
