You may more than two semesters to cover the whole book. Comprehensiveness rating: 4 see less. It is very easy to customize the material to different classes and different instructors.
The flow of the chapters and their subdivisions, makes it easy on me me to assign the students to read certain topic with no problems.
This text covers every topic that might be included in an algebra based physics course and more. It would likely take three semesters to cover the entire book. I've been teaching out of this book and have yet to find any errors in the text itself.
Some of the instructor solutions are questionable, but I've yet to find any errors in the text or student solutions. The writing is clear and descriptive. Many of the sections are very verbose so students are likely to skim, but the important terms and equations are boxed, bolded, and summarized. The chapters are very easy to use out of order and independent from one another.
This is very important with more chapters than you will ever likely use in one course. The topics follow the very traditional order from kinematics through energy and then additional topics beyond. Nothing novel here like covering energy before force. The online interface is fantastic!
Students will actually have the textbook with them when they need it. The pdf is good too, but the formatting works better online. In the pdf and print forms some boxes and tables are awkwardly split between pages. The text is more culturally diverse than most physics texts, but there is always room for improvement.
No textbook is perfect, and you could spend hours nitpicking the details between this text and any other you are considering. At the end of the day however, this text is free to your students, available online, constantly updated, and very unlikely to be made obsolete by a newer version.
The most likely complaints with this text can be solved by using the chapters in the order of your choosing and supplementing the descriptions during class. I use this text in class now and will actively encourage my colleagues to do so as well.
I have taught College Physics 1 and 2 many many times and this book covers all of the topics that every other book covers. The order may not be exactly what you find in other books, but college physics textbooks are all so similar these days, but The order may not be exactly what you find in other books, but college physics textbooks are all so similar these days, but this one is free!
This text is about as clear as every other college physics text, which is to say I find them all quite verbose to the point where most students do not read them. I do wish they would read the text because it is well-written and clear. Yes very well laid out and consistent. I also feel that the openstax line is all consistent which should help students who are familiar with the layout. Very modular which allows faculty to pick and choose topics for a College Physics 2 course which needs to select various topics.
Mostly because no one really learns rotational physics anyway and it's the end of the semester. I have not had any interface issues with this text. The openstax line has been used extensively and is well done and it shows. I have not come across any examples that make me cringe like I do in some old 50s texts that are pre-political correctness.
The OpenStax textbooks are so evolved and polished unlike some other OER and I have been waiting for a chance to adopt based on my teaching assignments and other faculty with whom I teach. I have yet to find that perfect college physics text, so I might as well use the free one. This one does look quite good. I am looking at this text from the viewpoints of both a two semester algebra-based physics course for engineering majors and a one-semester algebra course aimed at students in medical and technology and technology programs.
All the standard All the standard topics are extensively covered, providing the instructor many options for structuring either course. For a one-semester course, there is ample material to allow the instructor to select the topics and depth of coverage.
The text provides links to appropriate simulator activities, from the PhET library. The Frontiers of Physics chapter provides a quick view of where Physics is today. Presentation and organization of the text are consistent. The organization of each chapter consistent, including a chapter outline. Molecularity is a critical part of being able to customize the material to different classes and different instructors.
The flow of the chapters and their subdivisions. Well organized for students, with additional material available, including a "Getting Started" guide, A Solutions Guide, and so on.
I found the book to be suitable for an intro physics course. The authors presented the material in the typical order starting from mechanics to modern physics; The table of content is easy to navigate, just click on any chapter you want to and The authors presented the material in the typical order starting from mechanics to modern physics; The table of content is easy to navigate, just click on any chapter you want to and you are there. The topics covered in this book are relevant and up-to-date.
The physics problems in the body of the book and the end of chapter problems are related to modern day applications. I think the material is presented in a clear concise way; that is why I will be using the same book for my next Algebra based course. Each chapter is divided into sub-sections, where each section is mostly self consistent, that helps me to assign the students to read certain topic with no problems.
I very much appreciate the summary section at the end of each chapter because it is well written, and it highlights all the important concepts covered in that chapter.
The book follows the traditional structure used by most intro physics books: from mechanics to modern physics. The interface for the book is very user friendly, being very easy to navigate the contents and do searches.
It also comes with a lot of extra materials for both students and instructors. The integration of the PHET simulations within the text is a very important addition to this book as it gives the student the tool to to explore the concept they learned in class.
The book is nicely written, with a lot of extra materials for instructors and students. I will use it again my course in the Spring of The book is very complete for an intro physics class. The topics are presented in the typical order from mechanics to modern physics and it is easy to access and find different topics with the search tool and the glossary.
The content is accurate, it is clear that the authors have put thought in the material adding multiple examples relevant to the students and to the topics covered in the book.
The list of contents for a general introductory course like this has been pretty standard for a couple of decades, thus the relevance and longevity of the materials are clear. Examples are current and will probably stay relevant for a long time. The book can also be easily updated by adding new relevant examples as new technologies appear. In my opinion the language chosen for the book is on point for a young college audience.
The organization of the different topics, makes it easy to follow or just jump to a particular section to read about it. There is not unnecessary jargon. The mathematical notation and general language is very consistent throughout the book with multiple internal reference between sections.
The book is perfectly modular. Each section is mostly self consistent and you can send the students to read a given topic with no problems.
Of course one must be aware that the book is building each chapter upon knowledge from the previous ones, so it is not always possible to jump directly to an advance one without reading the previous ones, but this is not something unique of this book but of every intro physics book. The text follows the traditional structure followed by most teachers when introducing physics: from mechanics to modern physics.
Some chapters could potentially be swapped but it would not affect the flow. I did not find any grammatical errors in a first reading. The language chosen is impeccable for the given audience in my opinion. The book is full of examples that can be relatable to students in their daily life at the same time as it avoids cultural bias. The book is very well written, with a lot of extra materials for instructors and students and very easy to use.
In my opinion it is a great resource to consider for an intro physics class, since there is not much more you can actually gain from a textbook. Definitely contains all of the relevant information that a student in an algebra-based college physics course would need.
As stated in other reviews, the modern physics information could be updated, but otherwise its an excellent text. Everything looks good. The core material covered in an algebra-based physics course doesn't change much and this book covers it well.
I find the text is a little bit busy and packed. This could make it difficult for students to read and learn from. The chapter summaries are good and the definitions of key terms at the end of the text are useful for students to make flashcards. However, the overall structure could be cleaner. Perhaps more white space so the pages don't appear quite as "busy".
I would also recommend making supplemental video lectures to point out key portions of the chapters for students to focus on. Chapters can be more dense than needed for some populations of students. All chapters have the same structure, flow and characteristics. I particularly like the chapter summaries and listings of key terms.
This is a very valuable resource for students to use when brushing up on concepts before exams. Note that I encountered one odd error where a student purchased a physical copy and in one chapter, the problem numbers they had were different than those in the online version. The formatting and setup is logical for a typical physics course. It is reasonably easy to remove sections of chapters that are overly complicated for some student populations.
I would perhaps include more biological applications of physics as modular sections to further enhance the applicability for this book into such a population. Certainly nothing offensive or insensitive in the text. There appear to be attempts to make the problems more gender neutral i.
The text and problems, however, don't seem to necessarily target cultural diversity. I don't think its problematic in the least. The textbook is excellent. It does everything that a more expensive textbook would need to do. I do think the solution sets could be written up in a more clear manner. There are sometimes algebraic leaps that students need to make to understand the student solution manual that all students cannot always make.
I think its a great resource for non-physics majors physics students should be doing calculus-based physics and the medical applications really appealed to the pre-physical therapy students that take the course where I teach.
I would highly recommend this text. This book more than covers a standard 2-semester college physics curriculum - from mechanics to thermal to optics to modern, including up to date information on the latest areas of active research. This textbook is perfectly up to date until the modern physics sections which cover particle physics and cosmology. It still contains allusions to the discovery of the Higgs Boson, despite it being observed in So you might want to include supplementary material when assigning those chapters.
This book is clearer than most physics textbooks. But it could use a little bit more cleaning up - the text is pretty busy with a lot of things going on.
I recommend doing podcasts or vidcasts contextualizing what the book is saying for your students for them to watch or listen to before they do the reading. It is very consistent, each chapter has a similar structure, making it easier to read as you go along as you learn what to expect.
Each chapter is reasonably well self contained, and you can easily pull out chapters from the PDF into stand alone reading assignments. I definitely recommend doing this as psychologically it's easier on students to do the reading when its easily accessible in a single PDF.
This book does a better job than average presenting each topic. The order is standard and logical. Each chapter introduces the material with examples and follows up with a summary, a glossary of terms, and two sets of problems.
The book is not culturally insensitive or offensive, but contains very little history or cultural references when discussing the physics. Not necessarily a bad thing, as it might make the text too long or wordy, but some wouldn't hurt. College Physics includes all the major topics for an introductory non-calculus-based classical physics course.
There are also seven chapters covering topics in modern physics. Overall, the accuracy of information and equation typography are good.
In section 2. It is correct in Section The examples are relevant and approachable. Use of the space shuttle to describe acceleration, explain fluid behavior in microgravity and introduce rocket propulsion is fine, but since the STS program is no longer active and will soon be replaced by the Space Launch System, the authors may wish to update those examples in the near future.
The concept of selecting reference frames is consistent throughout. However, reference frame conventions are not always followed. For example, in Fig. I suggest keeping conventional "x" and "y" notation, which is done later in the text. Also, while the glossary attempts to provide several symbol definitions, there are a few places where it is incomplete.
For example, delta x is only defined as "uncertainty in x". Spring constant, k, is described, but thermal conductivity, k, is missing from the glossary. Navigation within and among chapters is straightforward. The search function was helpful. Images looked clear and optimized for the web. For optimal readability online, students should maximize the browser window.
The authors make use of variety of cultural references without purposefully excluding anyone. Generally, nothing in the text is blatantly offensive. However, there is one off-putting reference in the introduction to section 4. There are plenty of illustrations of Newton's third law of motion available which do not mention domestic violence. The Student Solutions Manual is good, but it would be helpful to have more problems featured.
Instructor resources are plentiful, with good trailers and lecture slides. The book is fairly comprehensive for a 2nd semester non-major physics course. There is sufficient depth to explore many different practical aspects of a topic and it does a good job of using medically-motivated example problems and discussions. The book seemed accurate, however there are some significant departures from standard physics nomenclature which led to occasional confusion.
Ther is a simpler way for, say, the Doppler equation to be written, rather than using 2 separate forms. Some chapters could be made more current or exciting, but I think the content is reasonably up to date. Lucid and accessible prose sure, but it is really devoid of any interesting or consistent voice throughout. I often pick and choose specific sections to include in my curriculum, and so I find the modularity quite of the text quite good to facilitate that.
I don't particularly like the flow of the material from Ch. For my course, I taught Ch. The text covers all the major areas and the index and glossary are clear and appropriate. The text would benefit from being more concise. On a first reading, the text appears accurate but I would need to teach from it for a semester before a full review of accuracy would be done.
The modularity seems well designed for selecting just the most important or relevant topics for a particular course. I did not find any issues with the navigation but some of the layout of the images interrupted the flow of the text and was distracting. The text gives a solid, traditional approach to the major topics needed for this course. Visually, the text is a bit bland and less engaging than some of the publisher developed texts. But it is definitely a wonderful resource for the students and the ability to edit and make changes is of great benefit for the instructor.
The text is quite comprehensive to the subject of College Physics. Students have informed me that they have referred to this text in other Students have informed me that they have referred to this text in other courses besides the course that I use it in.
There is also a useful Table of Contents. I have used College Physics for 2 terms and have not found any errors, although answers are not provided to the end-of-chapter problems which I find to be a drawback of the book. Currently, I have found the content to be up-to-date. The vast majority of the chapters will not need updating, but a couple of them Chapter 33 Particle Physics and Chapter 34 Frontiers of Physics may indeed need updating.
I do believe the text is written in such a way that this would be relatively easy and straight forward to implement. I think the authors of College Physics do a fine job with relating the technical material to examples that a student of Physics could relate to.
I have received high praise from students for the way this text is written compared to other texts in the Portland Community College - Civil and Mechanical Engineering Technology program. Overall, in the Chapters that I have covered in my course, I have found a bit of inconsistency as far as symbols are concerned.
However, I think that comes with the territory with having a text written by 'Multiple Authors'. I think College Physics does a great service to teachers and students with modularity. An instructor could cover many different aspects with excluding different parts of the text without missing a beat.
I do believe this book presents Physics in a logical, clear fashion which is crucial for a thorough understanding of a science. There is a discrepancy of 10 pages. With a page book, this gets inconvenient to have to consistently negotiate this discrepancy when you want to use the book. Otherwise, no other issues in this or other regards. I have found no instances of culturally insensitivity.
Photographs and figures of people seem to include people of all races and genders. I think it's fantastic and I have only heard positive remarks regarding it from my students. I would like to express my gratitude to those who wrote it and made it available to students in an OER setting!
This book covers all areas and ideas of the subject but is not catered to the diversity that make up community college students. I would also love to see focus on short term trainings and stackable certifications. As modern as online learning Comprehensiveness rating: 3 see less. As modern as online learning textbooks can be, I would hope that the author focuses on the modern workplace as well. I like how hyperlinks are provided in the chapter to support further exploration of a particular topic in the literature though not all of them work.
The text refers to printed catalogs to utilize for accuracy I wish they would talk about campus resources and the importance of speaking with an academic advisor. The text is designed for students at a 4 year institution. I would love to see a book like this designed for the community college student.
It is true that some community colleges offer housing but ours does not. It might be helpful to offer supports for finding rentals in the area or community and campus supports. The text is well organized and clear. I worry a bit that it will be obsolete as higher education and the employment agencies change quickly. This is why I support the online textbook for this discipline but would hope for a few adjustments to make it more accurate for our institution.
The consistency and terminology is strong in this text. It fits the framework of the conversation but not accurately depicts our particular community college situation. I found this text easy to read and visually enticing. It was organized well and at different points within the text, the book realigned with various subunits. The only issue is that I would organize my class in sections that might not need particular sections and some of the content can be considered a bit outdated.
If I were to instruct this course at a 4 year institution, I would see the benefit of the organization and structure of this text. I see the topics in the text are presented in a logical and clear manner. It would take an instructor to cut and paste according to course outcomes. The book does a good job in exploring the variety of students: "traditional" vs "commuter" but think under each of these titles are a number of variations that would need to be discussed.
I think it would be nice to have a few stories of individual students who were successful who provide their entire story inclusive of race, ethnicity and background. A story supports a student to relate as they move through a somewhat difficult higher education path.
Overall, I would consider using this text for the future if given the opportunity to teach at a more "traditional" institution. At this point, I don't see that it would be helpful. Ideally, the best way to move forward would be to allow the instructor ME to utilize materials form the text to provide a "cut and paste" option for relevant chapters to be utilize in the order deemed suitable for my students.
This is a very comprehensive text. The text incorporated "real world" parameters that aren't usually covered in the "corporate" textbooks. Things such as draft and the Magnus force were introduced in the projectile motion discussion so students Things such as draft and the Magnus force were introduced in the projectile motion discussion so students could see how the "school house" answer for the distance of a home run in Major League baseball is very different from what actually happens.
I found no errors of accuracy. I found some things you could "quibble" about--but that's physics. Those situations arise. An example is that in Chapter 18, if you weren't an expert, in section It's electrons. The text makes that very clear later on though. The book is relevant and up-to-date. In Chapter 14 the book discussed the green house effect and how our changing climate is making that phenomenon even more dramatic.
My favorite part of this book! This book reads much more like a well written article in Scientific American than a dull text. One drawback to this however is that there is a LOT of things covered that is impossible to cover in a 2 semester sequence. But, by assigning readings, the book is an enjoyable read and the students can glean much of the extra information on their own.
The flow and structure is good. The book has no surprises in the material it covers, what is a bonus is the how the introduce the "real world" situations along with the standard theories all textbokks have. This is a difficult arena for physics because it's white male dominance is a problem and we are trying to address these issues.
But the text is very male centric I noticed on a second look. Lots of "engineering" pictures with while men standing around lab set-ups and large machines. The drawings, an attempt to was made to have people of color represented in the drawings, but that just makes it look patronizing since there were very few people of color in the text, and almost no women.
I found this book very readable and the science was top notch. An engaging text. But then, I look at my comments in Section 10 and I see we have a ways to go in physics to be more inclusive.
When i was reading the book, as a white male, I wasn't even looking for cultural relevance, which is a big "shame on me" since I fashion myself a champion of STEM for all! The textbook is comprehensive. It covers all topics typical to a college physics course. The table of conten is very clear and easy to follow. The appendices are verey detail, some almost give too much detail, i. The index is very detailed allowing the reader to find lots of topic quickly.
The book covers typical topic for college physics. The physics problem are related to modern day applications. Photos,pictures used are also related to modern day which should be relevant for many years.
Some photos may need to be update every few years as technology advances, i. The muted colors could be brightened a bit. There could also be some separation of definitions and formulas from the text. The book is broken down into sections, but it is still not very clear where one section ends and another starts. Maybe some large bold or underline heading could be used.
The organization of the book as far as topics is good. Some chapters are reordered in comparison to typical college physics books, but that does not cause any concern. I did like the grouping of topics such as circular motion with gravity. Often circular motion is placed in a chapter where it is not very relevant. I love the integration of the PHET simulations within the text. This will allow the student to explore applications related to the physics concepts.
I also like the info given on resources for the book such as the partnerships for online homework. The grammar could be improved. I liked the book's intro where both female and male physicist were highlighted. There were examples which include a variety of race, backgrounds which is important for inclusion for all communities to see how they can utilize physics in their communities as well as how it can be relevant in their everyday life.
I found this book rather comprehensive. My point of comparison was Physics, Walker 4th edition which is currently our main textbook for the our non calculus Physics courses. Actually, the sub topics that were missing I believe should be taught in a calculus based physics course e. Gauss's law. I found no issues here whatsoever.
All the equations I saw were correct, and their descriptions appropriate. Typically, an introductory physics course stays relevant for a long time. Changes in the most modern law's of physics don't usually make their way down to introductory physics, since they are rather complicated. Indeed, the book was rather clear.
I asked my students of an introductory physics class if the book was more or less clear compared to Walker. They rated each book as clear as each other. I would not the organization was not logical, but it was different to the other main Physics textbooks in terms of the order of the topics.
This can create problems when a professor wants to switch from another book, to this book. But, I also think the students understand these books are free, and this is a worthwhile compromise. Well, its pretty hard to offend anyone with a Physics book culturally, as we tend to discuss objects rather than people. Its fantastic. I asked my students to compare this book to Physics by Walker and most rated it as better. I am absolutely sure it will be adopted by the University Houston Physics Department, and we look forward to reducing the cost of education in doing so.
The book covers all material typically covered in an algebra based two semester introductory course. The index is useful and clickable to go directly to the material desired. The material is mostly up-to-date and could be updated easily.
For example, it discusses gravitational waves, which have recently been discovered, but does not mention that. For the most part, I found the images to be excellent. However, there were some pictures in the example problems early in the book that I thought were not complete enough. I think their point might have been that the pictures do not have to be great pictures, but one could make a nice picture and then another simpler one a few times to make that point too.
I noticed the book pointed out a female physicist in Chapter 1, which is not often done. While the book did a nice job of covering energy concerns, I'm surprised that global climate change was not mentioned though the greenhouse effect was. I realize it's a topic we should treat carefully, but it should be discussed. I love the introduction. What a great way to motivate the importance of physics. I like the misconception alerts. I like that the book provides a section about problem solving approaches and then models this pretty well through the example problems they solve, including drawing a coordinate system and picture, identifying unknowns, and reflecting upon the result.
I liked the fact that graphing was embedded into the topics of velocity and acceleration, rather than making a separate section.
I like the example problems that look like experiments and the suggestions for PhET simulations. I like the many examples of muscles and other biology related topics that will appeal to the many pre-meds or people just interested in the physics relations to their body.
I particularly like the posture discussion. Things I did not like: The text seems a little small. There were some bolded terms such as relativity in Chapter 1, that I do not think should be bolded. The poor things will have heart attacks. It did not seem like the odd problems had solutions at the end of the book, like some books do.
Also, there was no indication of problem difficulty level on the problems at the end of the chapter. That is normally nice for the students to know. Reviewed by Lih-Sin The, Dr. The textbook covers all materials shown in most other College Physics textbooks. The textbook is even more comprehensive as it covers more materials than most other textbooks. All physical concepts in the textbook are correct and explained very well.
Other than some notations that are not consistent see note 5 , the materials are error-free and unbiased. The most important contents of the textbooks such as physical laws and their explanations do not change with time, so they do not need to be updated so often.
However, writing styles, presentations such as symbols, drawings, or pictures , and topics could be obsolete, fortunately they can easily be updated when needed.
But many figures and topics in the textbook are of recent discoveries or inventions, therefore they probably do not need to be updated for at least within the next five years. I find the textbook is quite easy to read, the materials are presented smoothly and clear descriptions of physical concepts and jargons are provided including their historical backgrounds.
Most figures are given excellent descriptions and notations. The framework of the textbook is excellent and it is adopted consistently. The example problems are solved following the same steps, such as, first present the strategy, then elaborate the solution, then discuss the solution. Most sections have their own problem-solving strategies, PhET Interactive simulations, and at the end of each chapter, we can find its glossary and section summary.
However, there is one inconsistency in notation: on page , it writes "net torque" in Eq. These make it rather easy to create reading assignments and lecture topics. The chapters in the textbook are logically arranged that the comprehension of the earlier chapters are needed to understand the later chapters. The thought and concepts developments are excellent. The pdf file of the textbook can be accessed without a problem.
No flaw in the figures and tables can be found. I do not find any offensive materials in the textbook. In my opinion, it can be accepted by all people, in fact, the pictures or figures in the textbook represent many races, ethnicities, and backgrounds much better than other textbooks that I read.
I run a spellchecker to the pdf file, but due to limited time it can only check the spelling of chapters 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and Below is the list of corrections: - On page , Eq. In the Third Edition, we added an exciting new supplement, Prelecture Videos, short videos with author Brian Jones that introduce the topics of each chapter with accompanying assessment questions. What the Physics? Videos bring new, relatable content to engage students with what they are learning and promote curiosity for natural phenomena.
These short videos present visually stimulating physical phenomena and pause throughout to address misconceptions and ask conceptual questions about the physics at hand. The videos are embedded in the eText as well as assignable in Mastering Physics. Quantitative questions are also available for assignment. Direct Measurement Videos are short videos that show real situations of physical phenomena.
Grids, rulers, and frame counters appear as overlays, helping students to make precise measurements of quantities such as position and time. Students then apply these quantities along with physics concepts to solve problems and answer questions about the motion of the objects in the video. The problems are assignable in Mastering Physics and can be used to replace or supplement traditional word problems, or as open-ended questions to help develop problem-solving skills.
These tutorials can be assigned before the course begins or throughout the course as just-in-time remediation. They ensure students practice and maintain their math skills, while tying together mathematical operations and physics analysis. Quantitative Prelecture Videos are assignable, interactive videos that complement the Conceptual Prelecture Videos, giving students exposure to concepts before class and helping them learn how problems for those concepts are worked.
