Excerpt from An Introduction to Physics: For Technical Students
Physics is generally acknowledged to be essential to the equipment of every technical student, and the subject forms part of the curriculum of most Junior Day Technical Schools and Trade Schools.
In the following pages a scheme of the subject is developed, which forms a two-year course when two or three hours a week are devoted to the subject.
Since most technical students take Applied Mechanics and Electricity as separate subjects, the portions of Physics usually treated under these 'heads have been purposely omitted from this course and thus the danger of overlapping has been avoided.
Apart from these omissions the whole of the elements of the subject have been passed under review, and if the treat ment of certain portions is brief, it is hoped that the breadth of outlook which the student derives from such a running survey will be considered sufficient compensation.
The experimental work has been confined to such as requires only the very simplest apparatus. Home-made appliances have a very distinct advantage over the more professional type at this stage of the student's work.
Sections I., II., and III. Form a suitable course for the first year, and Sections IV. And V. May be completed during the second year.
