1.1 Physics: An Introduction - College Physics 2e - OpenStax
This module discusses the realm of physics (to define what physics is), some applications of physics (to illustrate its relevance to other disciplines), and more precisely what constitutes a physical law (to illuminate the importance of experimentation to theory).
This physics textbook is designed to support my personal teaching activities at Duke University, in particular teaching its Physics 141/142, 151/152, or 161/162 series (Introduc-tory Physics for life science majors, engineers, or potential physics majors, respectively).
1.1: The Basics of Physics - Physics LibreTexts
What is Physics?: Mr. Andersen explains the importance of physics as a science. History and virtual examples are used to give the discipline context. Physics uses the scientific method to help uncover the basic principles governing light and matter, and …

College Physics 1e (OpenStax) - Physics LibreTexts
This introductory, algebra-based, two-semester college physics book is grounded with real-world examples, illustrations, and explanations to help students grasp key, fundamental physics concepts.
Introductory Physics, 3rd Edition – Classical Academic Press
Introductory Physics is ideal for the "physics first" high school science program, which places a physics-based course in the freshman year.
Classical Mechanics | Physics - MIT OpenCourseWare
This first course in the physics curriculum introduces classical mechanics. Historically, a set of core concepts—space, time, mass, force, momentum, torque, and angular momentum—were introduced in classical mechanics in order to solve the most famous physics problem, the motion of …
