Description
This is a revision of the clearly-written, comprehensive introduction to general physics for both majors and non-majors. Classical physics is emphasized, but up-to-date modern findings are included, such as black holes, pulsars, neutron stars, quarks and gluons, and recent progress in the unified field theory. The mathematics necessary is kept to an algebra-trig level, and the bioscience left to separate essays for greater flexibility. 1200 graded questions are posed.
