About this book

This modernly designed textbook on experimental physics invites students of physics and neighbouring disciplines to learn mechanics. With clear examples, rich illustrations and modern exercises, the book guides students through the material of the bachelor's course. The authors focus on experiments, which they explain with the help of many illustrations, thus facilitating the understanding of the physical phenomena. The book covers the mechanics of the point masses and rigid and elastic bodies, aero- and hydrodynamics, as well as oscillations and waves.

Reviews

"A refreshingly different book on the introductory course in experimental physics. Already in the preface, the authors point out the possibility that it could still contain errors, also of a content-related nature, and manage to show the models underlying the lecture hall experiments, including their limitations, through many examples. ... a total of three models are presented and their advantages as well as their shortcomings are explained ..." (Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Dominik Giel, Mechanical and Process Engineering, University of Applied Sciences, Offensburg)
