Lastly, they talk about “exact differentials” in the context of conservative forces.
They also use integrals to find time, i.e., t = integral of dx/v. For example they do separation of variables to solve questions occasionally.
It is based more on the US curricula and assumes that the student has already done differential and integral calculus, though in BC calculus is often being taken at the same time. In fact, that is one of the few criticisms. Others will wax poetically about the standard book by Knight or the new one by Mazur, but this book is just fine.
Unit 2 Modern physics including relativity and quantum mechanics. PHYS II covers electricity, magnetism, optics and quantum so Openstax Volumes 2 and 3 will be required. This OER is appropriate for PHYS I/II of the Engineering Common Core. The OER covers all areas and ideas of the subject appropriately and provides an effective index and/or glossary. The Department reviewed this set of books before changing from Physics by Halliday, Resnick and Walker to these books starting September 2020.Įach criterion asks the reviewer to rate it on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 = very poor and 5 = excellent). The reviewer will be using it in January 2021. Reviewer: Jennifer Kirkey, Instructor of Physics and Astronomy, Articulation Chair of Physics and Astronomy, Douglas College OER Reviewed: University Physics Volume 2 (OpenStax)
