Chem 4B Lab: General Chemistry for Majors II
LibreTexts
Chemistry is an experimental science. Thus, it is important that students of chemistry do experiments in the laboratory to more fully understand that the theories they study in lecture and in their textbook are developed from critical evaluation of experimental data. The laboratory can also aid the student in the study of science by clearly illustrating the principles and concepts involved.

Mechanics and Relativity
Timon Idema · Delft University of Technology
In Mechanics and Relativity, the reader is taken on a tour through time and space. Starting from the basic axioms formulated by Newton and Einstein, the theory of motion at both the everyday and the highly relativistic level is developed without the need of prior knowledge. Applications covered in the book span a wide range of physical phenomena, including rocket motion, spinning tennis rackets and high-energy particle collisions.
