Selections from University Physics Volume 1 & 3
Short Description: The PHYSICS 120 textbook combines select chapters from University Physics volumes 1 and 3. The content from Volume 1 covers mechanics, sound, oscillations, and waves. Content from Volume 3 covers optics and modern physics. This textbook emphasizes connections between theory and application, making physics concepts interesting and accessible to students while maintaining the mathematical rigor inherent in the subject. Frequent, strong examples focus on how to approach a problem, how to work with the equations, and how to check and generalize the result.

Short Description: A second semester introductory physics course for life sciences students that looks to deepen students' understanding of biology and chemistry through physics all through the lens of understanding two of the most fundamental particles in the Universe: electrons and photons. The book begins with exploring the quantum mechanical nature of these objects to expand on what students have learned in chemistry and then proceeds to geometric optics (using the human eye as a theme), electrostatics (using membrane potentials), circuits (using the neuron), and finally synthesizing everything in a unit exploring the meaning of "light is an electromagnetic wave."

Short Description: This class reflects material and approaches that were developed over 25 years of teaching undergraduates in the School of Oceanography at UW. While fluid mechanics is traditionally an advanced subject, Oceanography and Marine Biology majors can benefit from a more basic treatment, ideally early in their degree, as foundational material for understanding interdisciplinary topics. That is the motivation for this book.

Short Description: This study guide was developed to assist post-secondary students in learning Physics for Health II course. The course uses OpenStax College Physics free textbook. Students will use this guide to facilitate weekly learning, review and test their knowledge of key concepts introduced each week, and to examine health and biology related applications of the topics discussed in the course. Interactive activities and concepts maps will help reinforce the understanding of the concepts and to review the course concepts. Additionally, learners will have the opportunity to develop 21st century skills through resources and activities.

The need for an OER textbook on conceptual physics led to the discovery of a short book Matthew Raspanti posted on the internet back in 2008. He agreed to a CC-BY-NC-SA licence that permits the text to reside on Wikiversity as a pdf file. It is available as a single 162 page document, as well as 20 much shorter documents to facilitate online navigation.
Each of these 20 sections links out of a WIKI page that will permit the submission and sharing of ancillary materials under a CC-BY-SA license. These wiki-pages can be organized to host an arbitrary number of submissions by students, as well as by instructors.
La science est au cœur de multiples enjeux de société, au rang …
La science est au cœur de multiples enjeux de société, au rang desquels les nombreux défis engendrés par les crises écologiques. Ces enjeux impliquent des mécanismes que la physique peut permettre d’expliquer. Une formation universitaire de physique fournit un bagage standard pour critiquer des résultats liés à la discipline : ordres de grandeur, adéquation entre les modèles et les expériences, ou encore incertitudes expérimentales. Cet outillage est nécessaire à tout scientifique. Mais un·e citoyen·ne doit aussi être capable d’interagir avec ses semblables de manière rationnelle, c’est-à-dire comprendre les débats de société et y participer en connaissance de cause. C’est dans cette optique que s’inscrit cet ouvrage, issu d’un cours à destination des étudiant·e·s en troisième année de Licence de physique à Université Paris Cité. Son objectif est double : transmettre un ensemble de connaissances minimales dans quelques domaines physiques sur des thématiques que l’on rencontre fréquemment dans les médias, afin d’en saisir les enjeux, et d'autre part donner des clés permettant de se construire une opinion éclairée. Après avoir expliqué comment le savoir scientifique s’élabore, le manuel apporte des éléments de compréhension sur la radioactivité, le réchauffement climatique, l’énergie dans la société et les émissions de gaz à effet de serre, sans oublier les ondes électromagnétiques et la santé.
