The first book of the series "Paths to Problems" offers a clear and accessible introduction to physics for students who have never seen it before. It provides a solid foundation by presenting the principles of mechanics, electricity and magnetism, quantum physics, relativity and some more advanced topics. This volume is intended primarily as an introductory textbook for those who have not been exposed to physics so far during their studies. Nonetheless those looking some additional reading material will also find it interesting because of its peculiar treatment of practical applications in biology, medicine and technology that are not covered elsewhere. This book is intended as a textbook for the first year of university studies, but can also be used for self-study or as a refresher. It provides an overview over the basics of physics, with some additional material that may challenge you to extend your knowledge beyond it. Thus it addresses both students who are new to the subject as well as those who are already familiar with it. Because academic degrees imply different levels of knowledge and skills this book covers all undergraduate degrees in physics: Bachelor, Master and Ph.D. It is therefore designed to serve individuals with different backgrounds, thus explaining concepts at different levels so that everyone can understand them easily. It thus covers the initial phase of study of physics, but also goes beyond it by answering questions usually not covered in undergraduate courses. The book is divided into 16 chapters and two appendices. The first appendix explains simply some essential concepts in mathematics while the second one gives information on some advanced topics which will be studied in advanced courses. All together they form a complete overview for physics for anyone who wants to acquaint himself with the field quickly and easily. This is why this book defines itself as a "Paths to Problems" rather than a textbook. The chapter structure evolved from the paths to the problems that students face when studying physics. The book presents mainly classical physics, but also contains some basic information on quantum physics and relativity. It is structured as follows: Should one choose another approach than the proposed one, it has to be taken into account that most topics are linked to each other, so that they will be easier to memorize if they are dealt with in order. Some of them however can be skipped without losing much of their usefulness if their contents are not required at a given point in time during the study. The reader has to decide for himself what he actually needs and what he can leave for later use. The book presents both classical and quantum physics. The difference between them is that in classical physics, particles behave as though they had a definite position and velocity at every instant, whereas in the quantum world this is not true. This is what distinguishes classical mechanics from quantum mechanics. There are also general relativity and some more complicated theories like general relativity with cosmological corrections (GRW). Everything is explained thoroughly, but it can be skipped if there are no questions related to it. cfa1e77820
