Physics is the science that seeks to understand very basic concepts such as force, energy, mass, and charge. It is the general analysis of nature, conducted in order to understand how the world around us and, more broadly, the universe, behaves. Over the last two millennia, physics had been considered synonymous with philosophy, chemistry and certain branches of mathematics and biology, but during the scientific revolution in the 16th century, it emerged to become a unique modern science in its own right.
The present book is a complete and easy-to-use guide for understanding physics and the physical world. It is a good book for anyone who is taking, or about to take basic physics courses. |
