Synopsis

Principles of physics uses calculus as a tool to learn physics. This book is a concise form of my lecture notes which I have been delivering in introductory level physics courses for many years. This text is not a replacement of any textbook that has been recommended by the instructor but designed to provide additional materials as my personal teaching activities in calculus-based physics. It is intended to support introductory level materials at a rapid and an efficient way. Students who want to use this text assume to have a prerequisite knowledge of some basic mathematical skills such as geometry, algebra, trigonometry, and some advanced mathematical tools such as a differential and integral calculus.This book is organised into two volumes and ten chapters that covers the syllabus of introductory physics at undergraduate level in various universities and colleges. Volume I contains the basics of Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, and Thermodynamics. Volume II contains Electricity, Magnetism, Simple Harmonic Motion, Waves, Acoustics, and Optics. These topics have been carefully chosen to provide an introduction to the basic concepts in physics and to give an opportunity to sharpen critical thinking and problem solving skills. The main objective of this book is to learn how to investigate and approach problems in a logical manner. This book strives to guide readers to learn physics in a logical manner. Many examples and practice problems throughout the text may be helpful to refine physical intuition.
