The last thing one knows when writing a book is what to put first.

- The Physics Hypertextbook™ exists! Read it if you want to learn more about physics. Read it if you
need to learn more about physics to achieve some other end. Read it if
you are curious about physics or enjoy science in general. It's an interesting
diversion and you just might learn something in the process. Certainly
no harm can come from any of these objectives.
- The Physics Hypertextbook™ will contain about seven books, each book will will contain about seven
chapters, and each chapter will contain about seven sections. (More or
less.)
- The navigator at the top of each page can take you to back to the previous page in a set, forward to the next page, or up to the nearest index.
- The "E-World" publishers colophon
at the bottom of each page is linked to the hypertextbook home page, which is linked to the other hypertextbooks I have written.
- Primary concepts are highlighted in bright red, secondary concepts in dark red, and important persons in blue.
- The Physics Hypertextbook™ topic pages share the same format:
- Discussion of the conceptual, historical, and mathematical aspects of the topic;
- Summary of the key concepts embedded in in the topic;
- Problems to exercise your mind and construct the topic for yourself; and
- Resources for further information on the topic and its applications.
- The Physics Hypertextbook™ was not designed to satisfy the requirements of any syllabus nor was it
designed to integrate into any specific curriculum. Reading it will not
build character nor will it provide moral guidance. The author makes
no claims of accuracy, efficacy, or user-friendliness. It is hoped that
someone will be offended by something they have read within it at some
time, but more importantly it is also hoped that someone will enjoy what
they have read within it at some time.
