Revised Nuffield Physics: General Introduction

The General Introduction to Revised Nuffield Physics explained the rationale for the changes and provided an overview of the course as a whole. In the first edition the general introduction was included at the beginning of the Teachers’s Guides to Year I and Year III  of the course. Much of that material was repeated in this new publication.
