Excerpt from Definitions in Physics About six years ago the author wrote a pamphlet on Definitions in Physics, which was intended mainly for his own students in the State University of Iowa.

Its concept must be evolved by a backward process, and can become clear only after we have learned all about its measurement and application to physical problems. It will be found that in many such cases the author has not made any attempt to find the deeper meaning of some mathematical relation between two or more physical quantities, however important the relation might have become in our science.
