Abstract

(1) OPINIONS differ as to the best mode of commencing instruction in every branch of knowledge. The correct solution of the problem is of much importance, particularly in physics, in which subject, for some reason, students seem to find more than average difficulty. The author of this book has been convinced by his teaching experience that the most efficient method of presenting the elementary principles is by means of question and answer. His book therefore consists entirely of a long series of questions. To the more difficult of these questions answers are appended; to the easier the student is expected to supply his own answers. The subjects treated are just those usual in an elementary text-book, the greatest stress, however, being laid on mechanics, to which about half the book is devoted.
