.... I can't gather anything from this PDF. Can you maybe take screenshots of what your Finereader page looks like? Do you have red boxes around the Figures?
And you haven't shown what the EPUB output is either.
If you push View - Image and Text Window, you should be able to see what Finereader will be outputting.
Look at my screenshots of Finereader above, you see the left half of the screen shows the original PDF + Green/Red boxes? And the right half of my screen where it shows the OCR text (with blue highlights around unsure characters)? Does it look similar on your end?
The stuff that appears in the "View" Window, is what will appear when you export the file. Can you see the figures in the View window?

Is this the original source? Perhaps you accidentally sent a few pages out of Finereader?
If that is the case, you might also want to go into Options - Save - PDF, and set "Image Settings" to "Best quality (source image resolution)". This will make sure the PDF output matches the original, and doesn't get super compressed into death.
You might also want to set Save Mode to "Text Under the Page Image". (This makes sure that the original scan is still showing, and it just hides the OCRed text behind it).

Ouch... I would highly recommend against trying to make an EPUB of a physics book, ESPECIALLY for your first time. There are WAY too many figures, complex equations, sub/superscripts, inline equations, greek/mathematical/weird symbols (that Finereader won't get correct).
It would absolutely take forever, even for someone who knows what they are doing (let me tell you... I wouldn't touch digitizing a physics book with a ten foot pole). :P
