Excerpt from A Study of the Mathematics Used in a High School Course in Physics: Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Physics in the Graduate School of the University of Illinois, 1913
During recent years there has been a marked decrease in the percentage of high school students taking physics. Many educators charge this loss principally to the mathematics required in the physics course. Hall says, The half-score of text-books in physics I have glanced over seem essentially quantitative, require great exactness, and are largely devoted to precise measurements, with too much and too early insistence on mathematics. He says further that the boy in his teens is in the popular science age; that he wants and needs great wholes, facts in profusion, but few formulae; that he wants demonstrative experiments without being bothered by equations.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges traditional notions of physics education, arguing for a less formulaic, more qualitative approach that emphasizes the historical and philosophical underpinnings of the subject. The author contends that by situating physics within its broader intellectual context, students can develop a deeper understanding of its principles and their applications. The book delves into the historical development of physics, tracing its evolution from the ancient Greeks to the present day. It explores the philosophical implications of physics, examining its relationship to metaphysics, epistemology, and the nature of reality. The author argues that by grappling with these philosophical questions, students can develop a more nuanced understanding of physics and its implications for our understanding of the world.
