Contents:
Chapter 1. Introduction -- Chapter 2. Motion in one direction -- Chapter 3. Motion in two or three dimension -- Chapter 4. Newton's Laws -- Chapter 5. Applications of Newton's Laws -- Chapter 6. Work and Energy -- Chapter 7. Conservation of Energy -- Chapter 8. Systems of Particles -- Chapter 9. Rotation of a Rigid Body about a Fixed Axis -- Chapter 10. Rotation in space -- Chapter 11. Oscillations -- Chapter 12. Gravity -- Chapter 13. Solids and Fluids -- Chapter 14. Wave Motion -- Chapter 15. Interference and Diffraction -- Chapter 16. Temperature -- Chapter 17. Heat, Work, and the First Law of Thermodynamics -- Chapter 18. Thermal Properties and Processes -- Chapter 19. The Availability of Energy -- Chapter 20. The Electric Field -- Chapter 21. Gauss' Law and Conductors in Electrostatic Equilibrium -- Chapter 22. Electric Potential -- Chapter 23. Capacitance, Electrostatic Energy, and Dielectrics -- Chapter 24. Electric Current -- Chapter 25. Direct-Current Circuit -- Chapter 26. The Magnetic Field -- Chapter 27. Sources of the Magnetic Field -- Chapter 28. Faraday's Law -- Chapter 29. Magnetism in Matter -- Chapter 30. Alternating-Current Circuits -- Chapter 31. Maxwell's Equations and Electromagnetic Waves -- Chapter 32. Light -- Chapter 33. Geometric Optics -- Chapter 34. Physical Optics: Interference and Diffraction -- Chapter 35. Relativity -- Chapter 36. Quantization -- Chapter 37. Nuclear Physics
Summary: This second edition of Physics reflects the many helpful responses and suggestions from reviewers and users of the first edition. Like the first edition, it is a textbook for the standard two-semester or three-semester elementary physics course for engineering and science majors. It is assumed that the students have taken calculus, or are concurrently taking it. In the second edition, the order of topics has been changed to correspond more closely to the structure of most courses in elementary physics.
