Amongst the changes we have made are these: (a) In relativity we have included and evaluated the more recent experimental tests, given a fuller treatment of the spacetime interval, and expanded on the significant Kennedy-Thorndike experiment. We have taken advantage of the experience gained in the classroom with this material and the upsurge in interest in relativity and early quantum theory to prepare a significantly improved version of the text. Preface Since the publication of the first edition of this book, * the need for such a flexible supplement to introductory classical physics courses and to beginning quantum physics courses has increased.
