A Brief Course In General Physics: Experimental And Applied (1900)

""A Brief Course in General Physics: Experimental and Applied"" is a book written by George Arthur Hoadley and first published in 1900. The book is a comprehensive guide to the principles of physics, covering topics such as mechanics, heat, sound, light, electricity, and magnetism. It is intended for use as a textbook in introductory physics courses and is suitable for both high school and college-level students.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a specific topic in physics. The first chapter introduces the basic concepts of physics, including matter, motion, and energy. The subsequent chapters cover topics such as mechanics, including the laws of motion and the principles of energy and work; heat and thermodynamics, including the laws of thermodynamics and the behavior of gases; and sound and light, including the properties of waves and the behavior of light.The book also includes chapters on electricity and magnetism, including the principles of electrostatics, electric circuits, and electromagnetic waves. Throughout the book, Hoadley emphasizes the importance of experimental observation and the scientific method, providing numerous examples of experiments and their results.Overall, ""A Brief Course in General Physics: Experimental and Applied"" is a comprehensive and accessible guide to the principles of physics. It is an excellent resource for students and anyone interested in learning about the fundamental principles of the physical world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
