About The Book

This book, authored by Alessandro Bettini, is the first in a four-volume series that covers core topics in physics with an emphasis on conceptual understanding and experimental foundation. Focusing on mechanics, this volume offers an in-depth analysis of classical mechanics, including discussions on motion, force, energy, and the fundamental laws of physics. Bettini explains key concepts in a clear and accessible way while ensuring that readers can connect the theoretical foundations with practical applications.

Particular attention is paid to the historical development of the concepts and their experimental basis, making the book suitable for students who want a deeper understanding of the principles of classical mechanics. It is ideal for undergraduate physics students and professors seeking a rigorous but clear exposition of mechanics.
