Abstract
This book is largely targeted toward a mathematical audience, whose grasp and recollection of principles of physics may vary from small to great. It seems prudent therefore that we should adopt a somewhat self-contained approach and proceed along elementary lines. In many cases we shall attempt to complement stated principles with concrete computational examples. Towards this end, one necessity is a review of some of the basic units of measurement. Also towards the end of providing a largely self-contained account we will supply generous amounts of detail at times in the discussion of much of the material.
