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 .
μ 0 ≈ 12.566 × 10 −7 H/m is the magnetic constant, also known as the permeability of free space, ε 0 ≈ 8.854 × 10 −12 F/m is the electric constant, also known as the permittivity of free space, c is the speed of light in free space, [9] [10] The reciprocal of Z 0 is sometimes referred to as the admittance of free space and ...
According to Kaku, technological advances that we take for granted today were declared impossible 150 years ago. William Thomson Kelvin (1824–1907), a mathematical physicist and creator of the Kelvin scale said publicly that “heavier than air” flying machines were impossible: “He thought X-rays were a hoax, and that radio had no future.” [4] Likewise, Ernest Rutherford (1871–1937 ...
The Course of Theoretical Physics is a ten-volume series of books covering theoretical physics that was initiated by Lev Landau and written in collaboration with his student Evgeny Lifshitz starting in the late 1930s.
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).
