This book is designed as a textbook for students who need to fulfil
their science requirements. Part I explores classical physics from
its beginnings with Descartes, Galileo, Kepler, and Newton, to the
relativity theories of Einstein. Special emphasis is given to the
development of the objective, materialist, and deterministic
worldview of classical physics. The influence of Newtonian physics
on other fields of science and on society is emphasized. Finally,
some of the problems with the worldview of classical physics are
discussed and a preview of quantum physics is given.
