Applied Geometric Algebra
László Tisza · Massachusetts Institute of Technology
The mathematical tools employed by physicists have expanded considerably, from differential calculus, vector algebra and geometry, to advanced linear algebra, tensors, Hilbert space, spinors, Group theory and many others. These course notes attempt at bringing conceptual clarity and unity to the application and interpretation of these advanced mathematical tools. In particular, there is an emphasis on the unifying role that Group theory plays in classical, relativistic, and quantum physics.

College Physics
Paul Urone; Roger Hinrichs; Kim Dirks · OpenStax · 2022
College Physics 2e introduces topics conceptually and progresses through clear explanations in the context of career-oriented, practical applications, and meets the scope and sequence of an algebra-based physics course. The narrative of physics and scientific discovery has been even further expanded to focus on including more diverse contributors to the field. Building on the success of the first edition the authors have increased focus on interdisciplinary connections, including enhancements to biological and medical applications. The problem solving approach has been revised to further unify conceptual, analytical, and calculation skills within the learning process, the authors have integrated a wide array of strategies and supports throughout the text for students.

Classical Mechanics
Peter Dourmashkin · Massachusetts Institute of Technology
The principles of mechanics successfully described many phenomena encountered in the world. Conservation laws involving energy, momentum and angular momentum provided a second parallel approach to solving many of the same problems. This text investigate both approaches: Force and conservation laws to develop a conceptual understanding of the core concepts, a familiarity with the experimental verification of our theoretical laws, and an ability to predict the motions of bodies.
