The overall goal of this calculus–based text is to provide an introduction to physics with a modern point of view. It emphasizes the atomic nature of matter, macro–micro connections, and modeling complex physical systems. The approach is designed to go beyond low–level physics and to build upon readers′ prior preparation.
The first volume deals with mechanics and thermal physics in a unified way, with strong emphasis on atomic–level description and analysis. The ball–and–spring model of solids is a major theme, culminating in computing the specific heat as a function of temperature for an Einstein solid, using the concepts of statistical mechanics.
