Publisher's Synopsis
First Principles of Natural Philosophy is a book written by Amos E. Dolbear and originally published in 1897. The book is a comprehensive guide to the fundamental principles of physics, covering topics such as mechanics, thermodynamics, electricity, magnetism, and optics. Dolbear's approach is highly mathematical, and the book includes numerous equations and formulas that are used to explain the underlying principles of physics.The book begins with an introduction to the basic concepts of physics, including force, motion, and energy. From there, Dolbear delves into more advanced topics, such as the laws of thermodynamics and the behavior of gases. He also covers the principles of electricity and magnetism, including the properties of electric and magnetic fields, and the behavior of electric circuits.Throughout the book, Dolbear emphasizes the importance of experimentation and observation in the study of physics. He provides numerous examples of experiments that can be performed to illustrate the principles he discusses, and encourages readers to conduct their own experiments to deepen their understanding of the subject matter.Overall, First Principles of Natural Philosophy is a classic work in the field of physics, providing a thorough and rigorous introduction to the fundamental principles of the discipline. It is a valuable resource for students and professionals alike, and remains an important reference work in the history of physics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
