Calculus-Based Physics I

March 24, 2006

Calculus-Based Physics I

Volume I of a two-volume introductory calculus-based physics textbook is available free of charge. Calculus-Based Physics is an introductory physics textbook designed for use in the two-semester introductory physics course typically taken by science and engineering students. Calculus-Based Physics is a free physics textbook.

Book Description

There is the assumption that low or no cost means low quality. I think folks that read the book will discover the fallacy of that argument. The bottom line is that I wanted a book that would be ideally suited to my own calculus based physics course and I wanted to make it available to physics professors in a way that would allow them either to either use it as is or to easily edit it to create a book ideally suited, in the case of each professor, to their own physics course, a book that they could, if desired, release to the public to provide another starting point for the cycle. That’s why I wrote it, and that’s why I released it for free. I hope you find it useful.
