Theory of Physics, Volumes 1 & 2 Noah M MacKay

Thousands of years ago, ancient civilizations once called natural phenomena divine intervention. But the philosophical thinkers approached myth with logic, and from this scientific discovery was born. From Archimedes to Galileo to Newton, from Coulomb to Gauss to Maxwell, nature was described by classical mechanics and electromagnetism: branches of physics involving kinetic motions of masses and charges, respectively. This two-volume set, intended for physics students and science enthusiasts alike, delves into topics such as gravitation, waves, electric and magnetic interactions. The book also assumes readers are familiar with calculus (introductory and advanced). Mathematical introductions and problems are provided.
