Text: Brownlee, Principles of Chemistry: Brownlee, Laboratory Manual. Physics. The subject of physics is dealt with in the form of lectures, recitations, and individual laboratory experiments. The recitations are more in the nature of discussions of laws, theories, and modern practical problems than in formal questioning.
