essentially the plan that was adopted. |
lt was expected that the necessary editing would be minor, mainly consisting |
of supplying fgures, and checking punctuation and grammair; it was to be done by |
one or two graduate students on a part-time basis. nfortunately, this expectation |
was short-lived. It was, In fact, a major editorial operation to transform the |
verbatim transcript into readable form, even without the reorganization or revision |
of the subject matter that was sometimes required. Purthermore, it was not a Job |
for a technical editor or for a graduate student, but one that required the close |
attention of a professional physicist for from ten to twenty hours per lecturel |
The dificulty of the editorial task, together with the need to place the material |
in the hands of the students as soon as possible, set a strict limit upon the amount |
of “polishing” of the material that could be accomplished, and thus we were |
forced to aim toward a preliminary but technically correct product that could |
be used immediately, rather than one that might be considered fñnal or ñnished. |
Because of an urgent need for more copies for our students, and a heartening |
Interest on the part of instructors and students at several other institutions, we |
decided to publish the material in its preliminary form rather than wait for a |
further major revision which might never occur. We have no illusions as to the |
completeness, smoothness, or logical organization of the material; in fact, we |
plan several minor modifications in the course in the immediate future, and we |
hope that it will not become static in form or content. |

In addition to the lectures, which constitute a centrally important part of the |
COurse, it was necessary also to provide suitable exercises to develop the students' |
experience and ability, and suitable experiments to provide first-hand contact |
with the lecture material in the laboratory. Neither of these aspecfs 1s in as |
advanced a state as the lecture material, but considerable progress has been made. |
Some exercises were made up as the lectures progressed, and these were expanded |
and amplifed for use in the following year. However, because we are not yet |
satisfed that the exercises provide sufficient variety and depth of application of |
the lecture material to make the student fully aware of the tremendous power |
being placed at his disposal, the exercises are published separately in a less |
permanent form in order to encourage frequent revision. |
A number of new experiments for the new course have been devised by |
Professor H. V. Neher. Among these are several which utilize the extremely |
low friction exhibited by a gas bearing: a novel linear air trough, with which |
quantitative measurements of one-dimensional motion, impacts, and harmonic |
motion can be made, and an air-supported, air-driven Maxwell top, with which |
accelerated rotational motion and gyroscopic precession and nutation can be |
studied. "The development of new laboratory experiments is expected to continue |
for a considerable period of time. |
The revision program was under the direction of Professors R. B. Leighton, |
H. V. Neher, and M. Sands. Officially participating in the program were Professors |
R. P. Feynman, Œ. Neugebauer, R. M. Sutton, H. P. Stabler,* F. Strong, and R. |
Vogt, from the division of Physics, Mathematics and Astronomy, and Professors |
T. Caughey, M. Plesset, and C. H. Wilts from the division of Engineering Science. |
The valuable assistance of all those contributing to the revision program is |
gratefully acknowledged. We are particularly indebted to the Eord Eoundation, |
without whose financial assistance this program could not have been carried out. |
