EXCERPT: To the Student - Scope of the Program - This program is intended to be used in conjunction with a physics textbook; it should be equally useful to both the formal and informal student of science and engineering. The student should note the fact that this book will not teach him physics. Before using this program, the beginner in physics should have completed the study, in his course or review book, of those parts of physics underlying each unit. For each of the four major units, it is assumed that the student is studying or has completed certain topics in the basic course in physics. Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
