This booklet is designed as a textbook for college kids who have to fulfil their technological know-how necessities. half I explores classical physics from its beginnings with Descartes, Galileo, Kepler, and Newton, to the relativity theories of Einstein. exact emphasis is given to the improvement of the target, materialist, and deterministic worldview of classical physics. The effect of Newtonian physics on different fields of technological know-how and on society is emphasised. eventually, a few of the issues of the worldview of classical physics are mentioned and a preview of quantum physics is given.
