UNDERGRADUATE LECTURE NOTES IN PHYSICS A COUR...

This second volume covers the mechanics of fluids  the principles of thermodynamics and their
applications (without reference to the microscopic structure of systems)  and the microscopic
interpretation of thermodynamics. It is part of a four-volume textbook  which covers
electromagnetism  mechanics  fluids and thermodynamics  and waves and light  is designed to
reflect the typical syllabus during the first two years of a calculus-based university physics
program. Throughout all four volumes  particular attention is paid to in-depth clarification of
conceptual aspects  and to this end the historical roots of the principal concepts are traced.
Emphasis is also consistently placed on the experimental basis of the concepts  highlighting
the experimental nature of physics. Whenever feasible at the elementary level  concepts
relevant to more advanced courses in quantum mechanics and atomic  solid state  nuclear  and
particle physics are included. Each chapter begins with an introduction that briefly describes
the subjects to be discussed and ends with a summary of the main results. A number of Questions
are included to help readers check their level of understanding. The textbook offers an ideal
resource for physics students  lecturers and  last but not least  all those seeking a deeper
understanding of the experimental basics of physics.
