Physics is the use of the scientific method to and out the basic principles governing light and matter, and to discover the implications of those laws. Part of what distinguishes the modern outlook from the ancient mind-set is the assumption that there are rules by which the universe functions, and that those laws can be at least partially understood by humans. From the Age of Reason through the nineteenth century, many scientists began to be convinced that the laws of nature not only could be known but, as claimed by Laplace, those laws could in principle be used to predict everything about the universe's future if complete information was available about the present state of all light and matter.
This textbook provides knowledge in mechanics & pre-requisites in quantum mechanics for university students. This book discussed motion of body in one and three dimension, conservation laws, vibrations (or waves) with examples and problems related to them.
