As academic staff in the Department of Physics, University of Toronto, make increasing use of the web to deliver course materials, many of their documents are likely to be of interest to a wider audience than just students in the courses for which they were originally prepared. This page provides additional access to documents in this Physics Virtual Bookshelf . The contents of the bookshelf have been sorted into categories, which may be accessed through the buttons which appear to the left.
Many documents appear in multiple categories.
The format of the documents is either html , readable by a web browser, or pdf , the Portable Document Format developed by Adobe. The format of each document is identified as part of the listing. The approximate file size is also indicated as part of the description. An issue for on-line documents is whether to read them on your screen or print the document and read it as hardcopy. This distinction means that for some documents you will find links to an html and a pdf version of the same document.
