Physics / Jim Breithaupt. - 2nd ed. - Basingstoke : Palgrave Macmillan, 2003. - xii, 484 p. : ill., facsim., port. ; 25 cm. - Palgrave foundations .
Previous ed.: Basingstoke: Macmillan, 1999. Includes index.
Preface - How to Use this Book - Acknowledgements - Units and Measurements - PART 1: WAVES - PART 2: PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS - PART 3: MECHANICS - PART 4: ELECTRICITY - PART 5: FIELDS - PART 6: ATOMIC AND NUCLEAR PHYSICS - PART 7: FURTHER PHYSICS
An authoritative text providing a first course in physics for students on access or foundation programmes and non-specialist students on degree courses such as biological sciences, chemical sciences, engineering, mathematics and geology. - Clarity and flexibility are the hallmarks of Physics: the text offers various routes into the subject via independent introductory sections on waves, materials, mechanisms and electricity. Assuming no prior knowledge and focusing on the basics of the subject, the text develops sections on fields, electromagnetism, electronics, atomic and nuclear physics and advanced mechanics and thermodynamics, in a logical and succinct manner. - The second edition of this text has been updated to provide an even more accessible and student-friendly layout. Extension material, case studies, experiments, mathematical exercises, and spreadsheet applications are included on a new accompanying website.
