Abstract
THIS is a revised edition of the author's “College Physics” first published in 1935. The course is one which would suit most schools, though the author had in mind the needs of definite types of students. In this connexion, there is a slight bias towards physiology and medicine. Also it is pleasing to note that consideration is given to those students studying physics for the sheer joy of it, not with the view of taking any special examination ; hence many applications to modern machinery and household devices are included.
