Description: This is a calculus-based physics textbook meant for the type of freshman survey course taken by engineering and physical science majors, or for AP Physics C. It uses a nontraditional order of topics, with energy coming before force. For instructors who prefer the traditional sequence, there is a drop-in replacement for ch. 0-4, <a href="https://openlibrary.org/works/OL17792876W/Mechanics"><em>Mechanics</em></a>, that covers force before energy. My text for the type of course usually taken by biology majors is <a href="https://openlibrary.org/works/OL16806067W/Light_and_Matter"><em>Light and Matter</em></a>.
