"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.ġ. Informed by a 20th century perspective and a commitment to providing a conceptual overview of the discipline, this book is a return to basics. Hecht deliberately goes slowly, justifies where each topic is going, stops to take stock of where the students have been, and points out the marvelous unity of the discourse. Calculus and vector analysis are both painstakingly developed as tools, and then used only insofar as they illuminate the physics. He omits obscure, high-level topics, while focusing on helping students understand the fundamental concepts of modern-day physics.
As he states in his Preface, "If this work, while insightfully teaching basic physics, transmits a sense of grandeur, unity, and vitality of the subject, it will have met my primary objectives." While the text covers the standard range of material from kinematics to quantum physics, Hecht has carefully limited the math required to basic calculus and very basic vector analysis. Hecht's passion and enthusiasm for the subject matter is apparent on every page.
