Handbook of Physics is a veritable toolbox for rapid access to a wealth of physics information for everyday use in problem solving, homework, and examinations. This complete reference includes not only the fundamental formulas of physics but also experimental methods used in practice.

Key Features: Covers problems of real life situations to develop learners' problem solving skills. Ideal for students willing to sharpen their engineering aptitude.Graded problems to suit average as well as high level students.About the Book:The book is an excellent classic on physics having relevance for the students of physical science at the senior secondary and undergraduate levels. It presents the problems with The related concepts at length under six core sections. For the ease of students appropriate formulas are given in each section. All difficult problems are explained in a lucid manner. The answers to all the problems are given at the end of the book.

This book provides an introduction to the mathematics and physics of general relativity, its basic physical concepts, its observational implications, and the new insights obtained into the nature of space-time and the structure of the universe. It introduces some of the most striking aspects of Einstein's theory of gravitation: black holes, gravitational waves, stellar models, and cosmology. It contains a self-contained introduction to tensor calculus and Riemannian geometry, using in parallel the language of modern differential geometry and the coordinate notation, more familiar to physicists. The author has strived to achieve mathematical rigour, with all notions given careful mathematical meaning, while trying to maintain the formalism to the minimum fit-for-purpose. Familiarity with special relativity is assumed. The overall aim is to convey some of the main physical and geometrical properties of Einstein's theory of gravitation, providing a solid entry point to further studies of the mathematics and physics of Einstein equations.

The first volume in a three-part series, Elements of Mechanics provides a rigorous calculus-based introduction to classical physics. It considers diverse phenomena in a systematic manner and emphasises the development of consistent and coherent models guided by symmetry considerations and the application of general principles. Modern developments c

Reprint of the original, first published in 1875.

Elements of Classical Physics tackles the different areas of general physics in a way that the authors believe to be more effective. The book contains material easily understood with a minimal mathematical framework and introduces the necessary mathematical concepts when they have been presented in a typical concurrent mathematical course. The book also provides a quantitative understanding of the different concepts in a wide variety of specific situations. The topics covered, which are arranged according to increasing difficulty in a uniformly progressive pace, are temperature and heat; light and wavelength; particle motion on and special relativity; dynamics, laws of motion, momentum, work, and mechanical energy; electromagnetism; and thermodynamics. The material is recommended as a textbook for beginning physics students, as it aims to give its readers a smooth transition from high school to a college level of understanding on the subject.

Excerpt from General Physics and Its Application to Industry and Everyday Life The present book is designed for that 'large class of students who in the early part of their college career require a coordinated elementary course in the fundamental principles, the methods; and the industrial applications of physics. The purpose is not only to impart information, but also to give training in the methods by which facts are correlated in laws, and these laws applied to the affairs of life. In order that the mind of the student may not be distracted from the physics by difficulties foreign to the subject, hypotheses still in controversy are not considered, and no mathematics is assumed beyond the elements of algebra and trigonometry. New ideas are first developed and then expressed by definitions or laws in physical terms. Definitions are carefully distinguished from defining equations. In making the questions at the end of the various sections, the object has been to develop in the student the power of connecting facts and laws with familiar phenomena rather than the ability to enunciate the various definitions, laws, and equations given in the text. It is hoped that from the study of the numerous solved problems the student will early acquire an ability ln effective attack as well as in the orderly presentation of work.
