| Instructor's comments about the book list: Hi PHYS-110 students! For my class, you have the option of purchasing the traditional textbook used for this class (Halliday, Resnick, and Walker), or alternatively you can download a FREE copy of a textbook available by OpenStax which is just fine by me. There is also a physical copy of the OpenStax book available for $40-50 if you prefer. The OpenStax website is here: https://openstax.org/details/books/university-physics-volume-1 |
