This textbook covers all fundamental concepts of physics and describes how different theories are developed from physical observations and phenomena. After some essential calculus the author presents the complete classical mechanics giving numerous examples and with a clear focus on problem-solving techniques. Due to the high number of exercises at the end of each chapter and their solutions the work is valuable for self-study.
