Scientific paper

In the first semester of the calculus-based and algebra-based introductory physics, particle and rigid-body mechanics make an overwhelming presence. So much so that concepts like the field and potential, central to electricity and magnetism that are usually taught in the second semester, are all but ignored. In other words, there is no smooth transition from mechanics to electricity and magnetism. It is possible to include concepts like the field, potential and Gauss' law in mechanics without placing an undue demand on the length or the number of chapters, thus providing a better preparation to face the second semester.
