This book provides a chronological introduction to the science of
motion and rest based on the reading and analysis of significant
portions of Galileo's Dialogues Concerning Two New Sciences,
Pascal's Treatise on the Equilibrium of Fluids and the Weight of
the Mass of Air, Newton's Mathematical Principles of Natural
Philosophy, and Einstein's Relativity. Each chapter begins with a
short introduction followed by a reading selection. Carefully
crafted study questions draw out key points in the text and focus
the reader's attention on the author's methods, analysis, and
conclusions. Numerical and laboratory exercises at the end of each
chapter test the reader's ability to understand and apply key
concepts from the text. Space, Time and Motion is the second of
four volumes in A Student's Guide through the Great Physics Texts.
This book grew out of a four-semester undergraduate physics
curriculum designed to encourage a critical and circumspect
approach to natural science, while at the same time preparing
students for advanced coursework in physics. This book is
particularly suitable as a college-level textbook for students of
the natural sciences, history or philosophy. It also serves as a
textbook for advanced high-school students, or as a
thematically-organized source-book for scholars and motivated
lay-readers. In studying the classic scientific texts included
herein, the reader will be drawn toward a lifetime of
contemplation.
