Publisher's Synopsis
""A Textbook of Physics, Largely Experimental: Including the Harvard College Descriptive List of Elementary Exercises in Physics"" by Edwin H. Hall is a comprehensive textbook that covers the fundamental principles of physics through practical experiments. The book is designed to provide students with a hands-on approach to learning physics, with an emphasis on experimental techniques and problem-solving.The book is divided into several sections, each covering a different aspect of physics. The first section covers the basic principles of mechanics, including motion, force, and energy. The second section covers thermodynamics, including heat transfer and thermodynamic processes. The third section covers electromagnetism, including electric and magnetic fields, electromagnetic waves, and circuits. The fourth section covers optics, including the properties of light and the behavior of lenses and mirrors. The final section covers modern physics, including relativity, quantum mechanics, and nuclear physics.Throughout the book, the author provides detailed explanations of each concept, along with numerous examples and practice problems. The Harvard College Descriptive List of Elementary Exercises in Physics is also included, which provides a list of practical experiments that students can perform to reinforce their understanding of the concepts covered in the book.Overall, ""A Textbook of Physics, Largely Experimental"" is an excellent resource for students studying physics at the undergraduate level. The emphasis on practical experiments and problem-solving makes it an engaging and effective way to learn the fundamental principles of physics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
