, FOREWORD
A few years ago I had an occasion to go through the book Calculus by L V Terasov. It unravels intricacies
of the subject through a dialogue between Teacher and Student. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. For me this
seemed to be one of the few books which teach a difficult subject through inquisition, and using programmed
concept for learning. After that book, Dr Harish Chandra Verma’s book on physics, CONCEPTS OF PHYSICS is
another such attempt, even though it is not directly in the dialogue form. I have thoroughly appreciated it. It
is clear that Dr Verma has spent considerable time in formulating the structure of the book, besides its contents.
I think he has been successful in this attempt. Dr Verma’s book has been divided into two parts because of the
size of the total manuscript. There have been several books on this subject, each one having its own flavour.
However, the present book is a totally different attempt to teach physics, and I am sure it will be extremely
useful to the undergraduate students. The exposition of each concept is extremely lucid. In carefully formatted
chapters, besides problems and short questions, a number of objective questions have also been included. This
book can certainly be extremely useful not only as a textbook, but also for preparation of various competitive
examinations.
Those who have followed Dr Verma’s scientific work always enjoyed the outstanding contributions he has
made in various research areas. He was an outstanding student of Physics Department of IIT Kanpur during
his academic career. An extremely methodical, sincere person as a student, he has devoted himself to the task
of educating young minds and inculcating scientific temper amongst them. The present venture in the form of
these two volumes is another attempt in that direction. I am sure that young minds who would like to learn
physics in an appropriate manner will find these volumes extremely useful.
I must heartily congratulate Dr Harish Chandra Verma for the magnificent job he has done.
