This first volume covers the mechanics of point particles,
gravitation, extended systems (starting from the two-body system),
the basic concepts of relativistic mechanics and the mechanics of
rigid bodies and fluids. It is part of a four-volume textbook,
which covers electromagnetism, mechanics, fluids and
thermodynamics, and waves and light, and 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. Writings by the founders of classical mechanics, G. Galilei
and I. Newton, are reproduced, encouraging students to consult
them. 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 modern 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.
