Description

This classic textbook on experimental physics, written by Robert W. Pohl to accompany his�famous lecture courses, served generations of physics and other science majors, not only in�his native Germany, and was for many years a standard textbook. Pohl’s lucid and memorable�style and his consistent use of vivid demonstration experiments made his textbooks unique in�their time. This completely revised and updated modern edition retains his style and clarity in an up-to-date�format. The accompanying videos document the original demonstrations and add many�modern touches, bringing to life the numerous illustrations in the book and providing an�instructive and motivating complement to the text. They are linked to the corresponding�topics in the text and can be accessed directly online from the e-book version.� Volume I covers elementary mechanics, acoustics (vibrations and waves) and thermodynamics.The exercises provide an aid to understanding the material as well as complementary�information. This book addresses students of physics and of other natural sciences and engineering, but�also teachers and lecturers, who will profit from Pohl’s many demonstration experiments, and�other interested readers who want to gain an understanding of the fundamentals of physics�from an experimental viewpoint.Typham this is the title: Pohl’s Introduction to Physics Volume 1: Mechanics, Acoustics and Thermodynamics
