See the World through Eyes that Know Physics
I was motivated from the beginning to write a textbook different from the others which present physics as a sequence of facts, like a catalog: “Here are the facts and you better learn them.” Instead of beginning formally and dogmatically, I have sought to begin each topic with concrete observations and experiences students can relate to: start with specifics, and after go to the great generalizations and the more formal aspects of a topic, showing whywe believe what we believe. This approach reflects how science is actually practiced. |
