INTRODUCTION
In this book, the assumptions of all physics are laid out.
First, the scientific method, the true watershed in scientific inquiry between mere empiricism and objective, and mathematical, knowledge of phenomena, is presented.
The scientific method is probed in detail, going on to expose the main results of the inductive and deductive methods.
The other cornerstone without which no branch of physics can be understood is the system of measurement adopted.
The International System, and the other systems of measurement still in force, not only give the general frame of reference, but are in themselves basic elements of physics, without which the understanding of the different branches is purely a collection of notions.
What is set out in this textbook is only partly covered in high school, and even at the university level it is generally left out in order to make room from the outset for the different physical theories.
