Seaborn | 视频video | | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | For the last eighteen years, I have been teaching an introductory course in as trophysics. The course is intended for nonscience majors satisfying a general education requirement in natural science. It is a physics course with applications in astronomy. The only prerequisite is the high school mathematics required for ad mission to the university. For a number of years, I used an astronomy text, which I supplemented with lecture notes on physics. There are many good astronomy texts available, but this was not a satisfactory state of affairs, since the course is a physics course. The students needed a physics text that focused on astronomical applications. Over the last few years, I have developed a text which my students have been using in manuscript form in this course. This book is an outgrowth of that effort. The purpose of the book is to develop the physics that describes the behavior of matter here on the earth and use it to try to understand the things that are seen in the heavens. Following a brief discussion of the history of astronomy from the Greeks through the Copernican Revolution, we begin to develop the physics needed to understand three important problems at a leve | 出版日期 | Textbook 1998 | 关键词 | Atom; Cosmology; Universe; astrophysics; electricity; magnetism; mechanics | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4612-0689-7 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4612-6868-0 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4612-0689-7 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 1998 |
