بر پايه ديباچه ، هدف از تدوين و
نگارش اين کتاب اين حقیقت بوده که پرداختن بگونه اي مدرنيته و نوشتاري ( نه فقط در
فيزيک بلکه در رياضي ، فيزیولوژی و شيمی ) درست است که ساده است اما نه برای
دانشجویان و نه برای آموزگاران مفيد فايده نخواهد بود. تصور اینکه یک دانشجو بخواهد
هفته ای 50 صفحه را مطالعه کرده و به100 مسئله آن پاسخ دهد ، طاقت فرسا و غیر ممکن
می باشد.
خب برای حل این مشکل – نویسنده – این کتاب را با قالبی خلاصه تر ( بطوریکه امکان تشریح مطالب و حل تمرینهای آن در مدت محدود یک ترم تحصیلی قابل انجام باشد ) تدوین نموده و سعی کرده با ارائه مثالهای عملی و ملموس ذهن دانشجو را با ریشه مطالب آشنا سازد.
اين کتاب مشتمل بر 15 فصل است و نوشته پروفسور John W. Norbury بوده که در November 20, 2000 به رشته تحریر درآمده .

PREFACE
The reason for writing this book was due to the fact that modern
intro- ductory textbooks (not only in physics, but also mathematics,
psychology, chemistry) are simply not useful to either students or instructors.
The typ- ical freshman textbook in physics, and other fields, is over 1000
pages long, with maybe 40 chapters and over 100 problems per chapter. This is
overkill!
A typical semester is 15 weeks long, giving 30 weeks at best for a year long
course. At the fastest possible rate, we can ”cover” only one
chapter per week. For a year long course that is 30 chapters at best. Thus
ten chapters
of the typical book are left out! 1500 pages divided by 30 weeks is about 50
pages per week. The typical text is quite densed mathematics and physics and
it’s simply impossible for a student to read all of this in the detail re-
quired. Also with 100 problems per chapter, it’s not possible for a student to
do 100 problems each week. Thus it is impossible for a student to fully read
and do all the problems in the standard introductory books. Thus
these books are not useful to students or instructors teaching the typical
course!
In defense of the typical introductory textbook, I will say that
their content is usually excellent and very well writtten. They are certainly
very fine reference books, but I believe they are poor text books.
Now I know what publishers and authors say of these books. Students
and instructors are supposed to only cover a selection of the material. The
books are written
so that an instructor can pick and choose the topics that are deemed best for
the course, and the same goes for the problems. However I
object to this. At the end of the typical course, students and instructors
are left with
a feeling of incompleteness, having usually covered only about half of
the book and only about ten percent of the problems. I want a textbook that is
self contained. As an instructor, I want to be able to comfortably cover one
short chapter each week, and to have each student read the entire chapter and
do every problem. I want to say to the students at the
beginning of the course that they should read the entire book from cover to
cover and do every problem. If they have done that, they will have a good
knowledge of introductory physics.
This is why I have written this book. Actually it is based on
the in- troductory physics textbook by Halliday, Resnick and Walker
[Fundamental
of Physics, 5th ed., by Halliday, Resnick and Walker, (Wiley, New
York,
1997)], which is an outstanding introductory physics reference book. I had been
using that book in my course, but could not cover it all due to
the reasons listed above.
