Introductory Physics



These are lecture notes for the standard two-semester (or three quarter) Physics course I've taught a million times. These are the only complete sets of notes I have on the subject as I tended to change things piecemeal later on, but without ever really rewriting the set of notes. So they are a reflection of how I started out teaching it, but not how I would necessarily do it now. Still, they will probably be useful. I've also included some course summaries I wrote, in regards to which PHY 121/131,122/132, and 123/133 roughly comprise first and second semester physics without/with Calculus. I've included some power point slides I wrote, and a bunch of worked out problems, scavenged from tests, and homework assignments, etc. And I threw in a couple javascript animations relevant to the Doppler effect, and various wave interference phenomena.
