Notes

"This volume is one of six that together comprise the text materials for Six Ideas That Shaped Physics, a unique approach to the two- or three-semester calculus-based introductory physics course. ... The six volumes and their corresponding ideas are as follows: Unit C: Conservation laws constrain interactions; Unit N: The laws of physics are universal (Newtonian mechanics); Unit R: The laws of physics are frame-independent (Relativity); Unit E: Electromagnetic fields are unified; Unit Q: Particles behave like waves (Quantum physics); Unit T: Some processes are irreversible (Thermal physics)"--Preface.

"Six Ideas That Shaped Physics is a complete package of course material that includes a six-volume textbook (available in both printed and ebook form) and a rich assortment of web-based supporting material accessible through this website."--From the author Thomas A. Moore, Department of Physics, Pomona College http://www.physics.pomona.edu/sixideas/about.html, viewed 08/23/2016.
