history of physics
The History of Physics collection, featuring over 4,500 works, contains the first published accounts of the great majority of the important discoveries in physics during the past 350 years. The term “physics” is broadly defined to include closely related areas such as astronomy, astrophysics, and fields such as chemistry that were studied by physicists in earlier eras.
The collection is divided into 13 sections with titles ranging from Classical Mechanics to the Standard Model of Particle Physics. Sections are further subdivided into chapters which trace the history of an important scientific discovery or development.
A full list of collection documents is available upon request.
Accompanying this collection is a nearly 900-page volume that chronicles the history of physics, offering detailed references and context on each item and its role in the evolution of the field.
