Physics starts and ends with laboratory data, but a discussion of laboratory data involves mathematics, mostly calculus in the beginning. How can a student, who only knows 8th grade algebra, be brought up to studying physics with calculus and differential equations? In this book, all necessary calculus and differential equations are rigorously developed in the context of physics, leaving no need for outside reference. All theorems are proved rigorously, and all physics formulas are derived from first principles or laboratory data. Several hundred students at Cathedral High School in Indianapolis, Indiana have helped to develop the related course. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Highlights include: \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eViscous fluid flow with Reynolds number in chapter 3.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTreatment of experimental data in chapter 4.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTransfer functions and block diagrams in feedback and control engineering in chapter 5.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntroduction to electrical measurements in chapter 8.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFeynman graphs in chapter 9.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEfficiency of internal combustion engines in chapter 10.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNuclear magnetic resonance in chapter 12.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003e In every chapter there is far more material than an instructor may want to cover, leaving the student to discover the extent of this vast and interesting subject.\u003c\/p\u003eVolume Two: The Quantum Theory of Everything is in preparation.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was written by Marshall Dixon (Ph.D. in Physics, University of Virginia) and his former students Adam Hibshman (B.S. in Physics, Butler University) and James Miller (B.S. in Physics, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology).
