Add Tag | Summary: | The aim of The Physical Universe is to present, as simply and clearly as possible, the essentials of physics, chemistry, earth science, and astron omy to students whose main interests lie elsewhere. Because of the scope of these sciences and because we assume min imal preparation on the part of the reader, our choice of topics and how far to develop them had to be limited. The emphasis throughout is on the basic concepts of each discipline. We also try to show how scientists approach problems and why science is a never-ending quest rather than a fixed set of facts. |
