The final volume in a three-part series, Electricity and Magnetism
provides a detailed exposition of classical electric and magnetic
fields and analyses of linear electric circuits. The book applies
the principles of classical mechanics to systematically reveal the
laws governing observed electric and magnetic phenomena. The text
culminates in Maxwell's Equations, which, although only four in
number, can completely describe all physical aspects of
electromagnetism. The specific topics covered in Electricity and
Magnetism include: Electric force, field, and potential Gauss's Law
for Electric Fields Capacitance and networks of capacitors Electric
current Resistance and networks of resistors Kirchoff's Rules
Steady state and time-dependent DC circuit dynamics Magnetic force
and field Production of magnetic fields Ampere's Law Gauss's Law
for Magnetic Fields Faraday's Law Induction and inductance
AC-driven circuit dynamics and energetics Maxwell's Equations and
their plane-wave vacuum solutions This text extends the rigorous
calculus-based introduction to classical physics begun in Elements
of Mechanics. It may be studied independently of the second volume,
Properties of Materials. With more than four hundred and fifty
problems included, it can serve as a primary textbook in an
introductory physics course, as a student supplement, or as an exam
review for graduate or professional studies.
The second volume in the author's three-part series, Properties of
Materials uses the principles of classical mechanics to
qualitatively and quantitatively model specific features of matter.
The text develops linear models of elasticity to correlate and
quantify the changes in an object's shape induced by the
application of a constant force. It describes quiescent and flowing
liquids and gases and examines the behavior of oscillating systems
subjected to time-dependent external applied forces. The author
employs linear superposition to analyze the combined effects of two
or more waves simultaneously present in a medium, such as standing
waves, beating, interference, and diffraction. The book considers
acoustics, including the production, propagation, and perception of
sound, as well as optics, including the laws of reflection and
refraction. It also treats temperature, heat, and thermometry
before applying the laws of thermodynamics to ideal gas systems.
Throughout the investigations of particular phenomena, the author
emphasizes the modeling of composite systems assembled from simple
constituents. This text extends the rigorous calculus-based
introduction to classical physics begun in his Elements of
Mechanics. With more than 300 problems, it can serve as a primary
textbook in an introductory physics course, as a student
supplement, or as an exam review for graduate or professional
studies. Solutions manual available upon qualifying course adoption

The first volume in a three-part series, Elements of Mechanics
provides a rigorous calculus-based introduction to classical
physics. It considers diverse phenomena in a systematic manner and
emphasises the development of consistent and coherent models guided
by symmetry considerations and the application of general
principles. Modern developments colour the presentation and are
alluded to when most relevant, but the focus remains firmly on the
classical formulations and model descriptions of particular
physical systems. The specific topics covered in Elements of
Mechanics include: Kinematics in one and more dimensions in
Cartesian and polar coordinates Dynamics, Galilean Relativity and
Newton's Laws of Motion Energetics, work-energy theorems,
conservative forces, and potential energy Impulse and momentum,
systems of particles and rigid bodies Rigid body rotational
kinematics, dynamics, and energetics Statics Newton's Law of
Universal Gravitation The book prepares undergraduate students
majoring in the natural sciences and engineering for intermediate
and advanced classes in their disciplines which rely upon this
foundational material. It also supplies a comprehensive review in
preparation for graduate or professional exams. Therefore, the
series is structured in such manner that the second and third
books, Properties of Materials and Electricity and Magnetism,
follow upon the first, but may be read independently of each other.
Written in a conversational and accessible style, the material is
presented in standard, canonical sequence. Worked examples and
collections of problems serve to illustrate and illuminate subject
material in each volume.
