I found a book in my dads closet called “Fundamentals of Physics” by Halladay and Resnick. It’s a 3rd edition from 1988 I believe.
I’m interested in reading up on extracurricular physics before starting university.
I was wondering to what extent this book would still be accurate and up to speed. Has our understanding of fundamental physics changed significantly over the last 40 years?
(It deals with topics from both classical ( e.g. force, elasticity…) and modern physics ( e.g. relativity, Maxwell’s equations…).) #science source
