Physics is the fundamental science that seeks to understand the natural laws governing the universe. Its principles form the basis for countless technological advancements and scientific inquiries that shape our world. This reference book aims to serve as a comprehensive guide for students, educators, and professionals who seek to deepen their understanding of this dynamic field.
We are very glad to present this book тАЬUniversity Physics for Undergraduates (Volume-I)тАЭ. Our objective in creating this book is to offer a detailed and systematic knowledge of almost all the basic mathematical concepts required to understand the physics. This book is written by keeping in mind the curriculum prescribed by UGC.
To develop interest of learners, diagrams and solved examples are given in each chapter. At the end of each chapter, multiple choice questions, short answer questions and long answer questions are provided. The book is written in simple and lucid language.
