This is a set of lectures that I began developing at the University of Idaho in 2008 January. The aim of the lectures are to provide a set of lecture notes for myself, for students, and a course textbook. The lectures are for the calculus-based intro physics course.
The lectures are still under construction. They are probably about 80 % complete for the 1st semester and about 5 % complete for 2nd semester. Even the complete lectures are subject to updating and correction. There are currently no figures.
In addition to the lectures, I have created a problem bank, Introductory Physics Problems, in TeX format. There are multiple-choice and full-answer problems. Nearly all problems have complete and often discursive solutions. A pdf file of the problems, but not solutions, is downloads at the link above. I will provide instructors with the TeX source file (which includes solutions) on request. The questions are all coded for electronic selection. I can provide a fortran routine for selection, but an instructor could easily construct his/her own program.
I thank the Department of Physics of the University of Idaho and the Homer L. Dodge Department of Physics & Astronomy of the University of Oklahoma for support for this work.
