University & College Physics Books
Comprehensive, calculus-ready volumes used in first-year university physics courses. They cover the full sequence from mechanics to modern physics.
A calculus-based volume covering mechanics, waves, and thermodynamics for first-year university courses. Clear explanations, worked examples, and practice problems build a solid foundation.
Continues the calculus-based sequence with electricity, magnetism, and electromagnetic waves. Detailed diagrams and step-by-step problems make complex topics approachable.
Covers optics and modern physics, including relativity, quantum mechanics, and nuclear physics. A rigorous close to the calculus-based university sequence.
Elementary mechanics taught from the ground up by a Duke University physicist. Covers motion, forces, energy, and momentum with a calculus-ready approach.
Electricity, magnetism, and optics for the second semester of introductory physics. Builds directly on the mechanics foundation with clear derivations.
A complete high-school physics course covering mechanics, waves, electricity, and matter. Written for students with plenty of worked examples and clear diagrams.
Companion notes to a 45-lecture course that explains the core ideas of physics in plain language. A friendly starting point for beginners and self-learners.
A gentle first look at motion, mass, and force for readers new to physics. Part of the Basic Books in Science series, written to start at the very beginning.
Complete lecture notes for high-school Physics 1 and 2, covering mechanics, electricity, waves, and more. Concise summaries and diagrams ideal for review.
A thorough introduction to Newtonian mechanics, from units and vectors to energy, momentum, and rotation. Includes worked problems and reference tables.
A first-semester course built around calculus, covering mechanics, oscillations, waves, and thermodynamics. Each chapter pairs concepts with detailed problem-solving.
University lecture notes connecting classical mechanics and quantum mechanics through their mathematical structure. For students ready to see the math behind the physics.
Lecture notes that present the core ideas of physics in the language of mathematics. Written for math students who want a rigorous, concept-first overview.
