Physics 206 Online Text
The links on this page point to pdf files of chapters of an
online Physics 206 text book that I wrote and am still revising and
extending. I have twice used these chapters when teaching Physics 206
which is the first in the calculus-based, introductory physics sequence
offered at the University of Dayton. Additional example problems
and solutions can be found by following this link-> Examples
Feel free to use any portion of this material in any way you wish. Comments and corrections are welcome.
The sources for these files are Texmacs files that can be freely edited. Anyone interested in obtaining the source files should feel free to contact me.
