[6]: 149 The series was translated into a number of foreign languages. [7] Although the course was influential in physics education worldwide, the book series sold better in foreign markets than in the US, possibly because students in other countries specialized earlier and were therefore better prepared mathematically than US students.

The first edition of the book to bear the title Fundamentals of Physics, first published in 1970, was revised from the original text by Farrell Edwards and John J. Merrill. [2] (Editions for sale outside the USA have the title Principles of Physics.) Walker has been the revising author since 1990. [3]
In the second edition, the corresponding sections were scrapped and replaced with more topics in the well-established quantum electrodynamics, and the two parts were unified into one, thus providing a one-volume exposition on relativistic quantum field theory with the electromagnetic interaction as the prototype of a quantum field theory.
The Feynman Lectures on Physics is a physics textbook based on a great number of lectures by Richard Feynman, a Nobel laureate who has sometimes been called "The Great Explainer". [1] The lectures were presented before undergraduate students at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), during 1961–1964.
From January 2008 to December 2012, if you bought shares in companies when Michael T. Smith joined the board, and sold them when he left, you would have a -6.7 percent return on your investment, compared to a -2.8 percent return from the S&P 500.
Quantum mechanics is the study of matter and its interactions with energy on the scale of atomic and subatomic particles.By contrast, classical physics explains matter and energy only on a scale familiar to human experience, including the behavior of astronomical bodies such as the moon.
Alabama jumped Miami for the final spot in the provisional playoff field on Tuesday despite having a 9-3 record to Miami’s 10-2 record. The Hurricanes have lost two of their last three games and ...
