A Text-Book In Physics For Secondary Schools - N. Mumper, William

. .

Résumé :
A Text-Book In Physics For Secondary Schools delivers the fundamentals of physical science with clear, economical prose and steady pedagogy. Clear lessons for budding scientists. Framed as a secondary school physics textbook, it also serves as a classic physics reference and a practical high school science guide, equally useful in classroom programmes and as a student study resource for revision or independent work. The treatment is deliberate rather than flashy: it leads from the principles of mechanics to electricity and magnetism basics, then on to introductory thermodynamics concepts, always pairing plain explanation with worked examples, simple sketches and suggested demonstrations that make abstract ideas concrete for physics for beginners. Readers will note its emphasis on stepwise reasoning and experimental illustration, features that suit teachers organising lessons, parents choosing a homeschool physics curriculum and self-taught learners seeking foundations. Because the prose privileges clarity and rigour over jargon, students gain graspable definitions and practice problems that reward steady study. As an item of historical interest the book is rooted in early 20th century science education...

Biographie:
