Introductory Physics
Tracer Bullet 10-1
Physics might be defined as the study of patterns in
nature: patterns described by mathematically-expressed models,
which are then tested by rigorous experiment. It is a field which describes
the interactions of matter and energy in all its forms, and includes
both the mundane and the esoteric, on scales ranging from the sub-atomic
to the galactic.
Physics is a mental collaboration that has taken place world-wide
across the centuries. Its many dedicated contributors have
ranged from the philosophers of ancient Greece, to legendary geniuses
such as Galileo and Newton, to giants of the twentieth century
like Einstein and Feynman, and will include the scientists--and students--of
today and tomorrow.
This Library of Congress Science Tracer Bullet updates TB05-7 and is intended as a basic list of resources for those wanting to know something about the science, methods, people, and discoveries of physics. The books mentioned are meant only as introductions to the subject. This and other recent Tracer Bullets are available online from the Science Reference Section at URL: http://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/tracer-bullets/tbs.html. Not meant to be a comprehensive bibliography, this compilation is designed--as the name of the series implies--to put the reader “on target.”

Textbooks contain an organized, reliable introduction
to physics. Textbooks are especially valuable because of the questions
and problem sets they contain. Often an author will use them to
emphasize points of special importance, to involve and challenge
the student with the material, or even to include supplemental
information. More recent textbooks often include digital materials, ranging from disks supplied with the text to websites established and maintained by the publisher for book purchasers.
While most textbooks deal with the same basic breadth of
information, the depth of their treatment depends on
the level of mathematical sophistication they employ. Mathematics
is the most precise "language" of physics, and advanced study requires
mathematical fluency.

Abstracting and Indexing Services that index relevant journal articles
and other literature on physics. While the abstracts may be somewhat
advanced for a beginning physics student, they offer insights into physics’ many applications, in-depth analyses of aspects of classical physics, and a glimpse of the field’s cutting edge. Consult a reference librarian for location
of these materials in the Science Reading Room. Several of these
titles may also be available on-line.
