. . . all things are made of atoms—little particles that move around in perpetual motion, attracting each other when they are a little distance apart, but repelling upon being squeezed into one another. In that one sentence, you will see, there is an enormous amount of information about the world, if just a little imagination and thinking are applied. — Richard P. Feynman
Preface
This book grew out of an ongoing effort to modernize Colgate University’s three-term, introductory, calculus-level physics course. The book is for the first term of this course and is intended to help first-year college students make a good transition from high-school physics to university physics. The book concentrates on the physics that explains why we believe that atoms exist and have the properties we ascribe to them. This story line, which motivates much of our profession
