Fundamentals of Physics: Mechanics, Relativity, and Thermodynamics R. Shankar
Publisher: Yale University Press

First, we examine what insights These models have entered the literature under the names of generalized uncertainty principle or modified dispersion relation, and have allowed to study the effects of a minimal length scale in quantum mechanics, quantum electrodynamics, thermodynamics, black hole physics and cosmology. This course covers Newtonian mechanics, special relativity, gravitation, thermodynamics, and waves." Link: http://academicearth.org/courses/fundamentals-of-physics. May 16, 2014 - What is more, in 2002, Fundamentals of Physics was named the most outstanding introductory physics textbook of the 20th century by the American Physical Society. This book offers a unique combination of authoritative content and stimulating applications. Like other books from this list, Fundamentals of Physics is a huge tome that covers all the major areas of undergraduate physics. Sep 16, 2013 - The easy-to-understand style this book offers a solid understanding of fundamental physics concepts, and helps readers apply this conceptual understanding to quantitative problem solving. Placed on problem solving and quantitative reasoning. I'm sure Einstein was aware of this flaw in his general statement, so, although first law .. Feb 15, 2013 - We review the question whether the fundamental laws of nature limit our ability to probe arbitrarily short distances. Dec 22, 2013 - Physicists therefore do not believe that conservation of energy holds for the whole universe (although there is still local conservation of energy in general relativity). In particular, the main topics include: basics of physics and mechanics, waves, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, optics and special relativity. So he is implicitly contrasting Thermodynamics with that and making Thermodynamics more fundamental than Quantum Mechanics. Although this book consist of other parts of Physics such as Heat and Thermodynamics, Electromagnetism, etc., you can refer to chapters 1- 8 of the 8th edition for the mechanics part.
