Preface to Physics

Introduces physics as the study of the physical properties of matter, and explains the importance of physics to man's material progress. Identifies the branches of physics; refers to the work of Archimedes, Paschal, Galileo, Franklin, and Faraday; and sees the common machines in use today as outgrowths of their work. Indicates that there are many opportunities for employment in the growing field of physics., Introduces physics as the study of the physical properties of matter, and explains the importance of physics to man's material progress.
