Undergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics,2192-4791Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph3-319-10646-5 Introduction -- On the Motion of Planets -- On the Nature of Matter -- On the Nature of Spacetime -- More on the Nature of Matter -- Terrestrial Mechanics -- Celestial Mechanics -- Constituents of the Atom -- The Classical Electron -- Modern Technology -- Emergent Phenomena -- Appendix A. Vectors and Matrices -- Appendix B. Noether’s Theorem -- Index.In this introductory text, physics concepts are introduced as a means of understanding experimental observations, not as a sequential list of facts to be memorized. The book is structured around the key scientific discoveries that led to much of our current understanding of the universe. Numerous exercises are provided that utilize Mathematica software to help students explore how the language of mathematics is used to describe physical phenomena. Topics requiring quantum mechanics for a more complete explanation are identified but not pursued. In a departure from the traditional methodology and subject matter used in introductory physics texts, this is organized in a manner that will facilitate a guided discovery style of instruction. Students will obtain much more detailed information about fewer topics and will also gain proficiency with Mathematica, a powerful tool with many potential uses in subsequent courses.Undergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics,2192-4791Field theory (Physics)PhysicsMathematical physicsClassical and Continuum Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P2100XMathematical Methods in Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19013Numerical and Computational Physics, Simulationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19021Mathematical Applications in the Physical Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13120Field theory (Physics)Physics.Mathematical physics.Classical and Continuum Physics.Mathematical Methods in Physics.Numerical and Computational Physics, Simulation.Mathematical Applications in the Physical Sciences.530.15Cunningham Mark Aauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut792321MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910300433203321Neoclassical Physics1771634UNINA
