Calculus-Based Physics 1

Calculus-Based Physics 1 is an introductory physics textbook designed for use in the two-semester introductory physics course typically taken by science and engineering students.

This book is a physics textbook, not a mathematics book. One of your goals in taking a physics course is to become more proficient at solving physics problems, both conceptual problems involving little to no math, and problems involving some mathematics. In a typical physics textbook problem you are given a description about something that is taking place in the universe and you are supposed to figure out and write something very specific about what happens as a result of what is taking place. More importantly, you are supposed to communicate clearly, completely, and effectively, how, based on the description and basic principles of physics, you arrived at your conclusion.
