Synopsis:

Excerpt from Essentials of Physics for College Students: A Textbook for Undergraduates and a Lecture Course and Reference Work for Teachers and Other Students of Physics

IN this revised edition, the author has corrected typo graphical errors and made changes which no doubt will enhance the value of the book. The original purpose has been to present the principles of physics in a reasonably complete form, so selected as to round out the information of a well-educated man who is not aiming to qualify as an engineer or technical expert, but who nevertheless desires to be well informed in this branch of science. Especially has the author endeavored to make the sub ject of human as well as of technical interest to the student. It is hoped that this may help to make the book attractive to some who may feel that their knowledge of the subject is be coming impaired, as well as to those who are first acquiring their knowledge of it.

In presenting a subject so broad and so varied as physics, no matter what material is selected there will always arise the question whether certain things that are omitted would not better have been included and others that are included might not better have been omitted. No choice can be made that will meet with universal approval. Quite as important, it seems to the author, is it to present any topic in a way that will give the student a proper conception of it and of its relation to the rest of the science.
