Frontmatter includes prefaces for the second German edition and the first American edition, followed by the table of contents. The first section discusses the fundamental concepts of motion, including mathematical descriptions of the universe, vectors, and different types of movement. It covers Newtonian mechanics, detailing the laws of motion, illustrations, momentum, energy, and rotation. The next section addresses atoms and heat, focusing on ideal monatomic gases and the nature of heat. Following this, the text delves into electricity and magnetism, exploring stationary electric charges, the concept of fields, electric currents, moving charges, magnetism, and time-varying fields. The discussion then shifts to waves, examining their essence, electromagnetic waves, and characteristic behaviors. The relativity theory section tackles the problem and its resolution, time and space, relativistic mechanics, and general relativity. The quantum mechanics section highlights the birth of a revolution, the relationship between particles and waves, probability and uncertainty, and the nature of atoms. The search for fundamental components includes discussions on the nucleus, nuclear transformations, a variety of particles and processes, and symmetry. The mathematical appendix covers algebra, geometry, trigonometry, units, and solutions to exercises, followed by tables and a subject index, along with useful conversion factors and a
