Atoms in Motion 1-1 Introduction This two-year course in physics is presented from the point of view that you, 1-1 Introduction the reader, are going to be a physicist. This is not necessarily the case of course, 1-2 Matter is made of atoms but that is what every professor in every subject assumes! If you are going to be a physicist, you will have a lot to study : two hundred years of the most rapidly 1-3 Atomic processes developing field of knowledge that there is. So much knowledge, in fact, that 1-4 Chemical reactions you might think that you cannot learn all of it in four years, and truly you cannot; you will have to go to graduate school too! Surprisingly enough, in spite of the tremendous amount of work that has been done for all this time it is possible to condense the enormous mass of results to a large extent—that is, to find laws which summarize all our knowledge. Even so, the laws are so hard to grasp that it is unfair to you to start exploring this tremendous subject without some kind of map or outline of the relationship of one part of the subject of science to another. Following these preliminary remarks, the first three chapters will therefore outline the relation of physics to the rest of the sciences, the relations of the sciences to each other, and the meaning of science, to help us develop a feel for the subject. You might ask why we cannot teach physics by just giving
