University Physics, informally known as the Sears & Zemansky, is the name of a two-volume physics textbook written by Hugh Young and Roger Freedman. The first edition of University Physics was published by Mark Zemansky and Francis Sears in 1949. [2] [3] Hugh Young became a coauthor with Sears
At Dartmouth, Sears was the Appleton Professor of Physics. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] He is best known for co-authoring University Physics , an introductory physics textbook, with Mark Zemansky . The book, first published in 1949, is often referred to as " Sears and Zemansky ", although Hugh Young became a coauthor in 1973.
Mark Waldo Zemansky (May 5, 1900 – December 29, 1981 [2] [4]) was an American physicist. He was a professor of physics at the City College of New York for decades and is best known for co-authoring University Physics , an introductory physics textbook, with Francis Sears .

The series was translated into a number of foreign languages. [7] Although the course was influential in physics education worldwide, the book series sold better in foreign markets than in the US, possibly because students in other countries specialized earlier and were therefore better prepared mathematically than US students.

Fundamentals of Physics is a calculus-based physics textbook by David Halliday, Robert Resnick, and Jearl Walker.The textbook is currently in its 12th edition (published October, 2021).
Henri Becquerel Since the 1920s, cloud chambers played an important role of particle detectors and eventually lead to the discovery of positron, muon and kaon.. The history of nuclear physics as a discipline distinct from atomic physics, starts with the discovery of radioactivity by Henri Becquerel in 1896, [1] made while investigating phosphorescence in uranium salts.

The University City was planned in 1927–28. A final ideal perspective was created in December 1928. [7] The plan was completed in 1929. [1] Land owned by the crown in La Moncloa was granted for the site and funding was obtained from the lottery, grants by the king and private donations. [1]
