Radically Modern Introductory Physics Text II
The idea for a “radically modern” introductory physics course arose out of frustration with the standard two-semester treatment of the subject. Given this structure, a knowledgeable instructor able to offer one-on-one time with students (as in our recitation sections) is essential for student success. The text is most likely to be useful in a sophomore-level course introducing physics majors to the broad world of physics viewed from a modern perspective.
