Excerpt from Elementary Text-Book of Physics
This book is primarily intended as a text-book for elementary classes of Physics. It aims at presenting, in brief space, those portions of Theoretical Physics which are most essential as a foundation for subsequent advances, while at the same time most fitted for exercising the learner in logical and consecutive thought. It does not give minute directions for manipulation; but, avoiding details as much as possible, presents a connected outline of the main points of theory.
In order to place science upon an equal footing with the more established studies of ancient languages and mathematics, as a means of practically training the bulk of our youth to vigorous thought, it seems necessary that science text-books should be constructed upon such lines as these. It is not practicable to make the bulk of the boys in our public schools expert scientific manipulators; but it is practicable to ground them well in the main lines of scientific theory. The aim must be not so much to teach them many facts, as to teach them rightly to connect a few great facts together. Science must be taught them from a liberal, not from a technical stand-point.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces the fundamental principles of physics, from the concepts of force, mass, and momentum to the laws of thermodynamics. Physics is presented in a logical and cumulative manner, enabling a clear and connected understanding of this broad and often complex subject. The author presents an array of concepts from dynamics and statics through to thermodynamics and magnetism. Simpler scientific principles are used to illustrate more complex phenomena as the author gradually introduces more challenging topics. This enables readers to build a solid foundation in the fundamentals of each physical science discipline, from basic kinematics and energy to electricity and thermodynamics. By approaching physics in this way, the author provides a roadmap through the subject, rendering concepts accessible and encouraging readers to pursue further study. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
