In my opinion, it can be accepted by all people, in fact, the pictures or figures in the textbook represent many races, ethnicities, and backgrounds much better than other textbooks that I read. I run a spellchecker to the pdf file, but due to limited time it can only check the spelling of chapters 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and Below is the list of corrections: - On page , Eq.

Reviewed by Dr. The book discusses all the topics of the subject that are covered by any standard introductory physics textbook. However, I found that the numerical problems at the end of this book are not as varied as compared to other standard textbooks.

As a result I generally have to look for example problems from other textbooks for discussion in class. The topics of this introductory physics book are relevant and up-to-date, with examples and example problems that are explained clearly. In addition, the book also provides answers to all the numerical problems from the end of each chapter. Further improvement by adding a variation of numerical problems for each chapter would make the book more competitive. The topics are discussed in clear language and the book provides several examples to help understand the topic.

The chapter is divided into smaller sections or modules that are helpful in locating relevant topics, instead of having to search through the entire chapter. Particularly, the summary section at the end of each chapter is well written, highlighting all the important topics of each chapter. The topics in the book are organized, and discussed clearly.

Sometimes, the approach to a particular problem may be different compared to that used in a standard physics textbook, however, the topics are clearly and consistently explained throughout the book. The topics and figures discussed in the book add to the scientific discussion, and are not culturally insensitive or offensive in any respect. The online version of the book is available free of cost, while the actual book is available to students at a quarter of the price compared to any standard introductory physics textbook.

The quality of the material is comparable to other standard textbooks. This text covers all of the expected content in a College Physics course, encompassing both semesters, and includes several modern physics topics. This allows instructors flexibility in choosing the topics they would like for each semester of This allows instructors flexibility in choosing the topics they would like for each semester of physics. The text is designed to teach Motion before Forces, which is common, though it would be nice to see flexibility in editions increased, with a second edition that covers forces first, and another that integrates the discussion of Motion and Forces.

While reviewing every single example and end-of-chapter problem is not practical for one person, I did not find any significant errors and am impressed by the number of end-of-chapter problems, especially in the modern physics chapters.

Problems seem to be "on the level" for students, and cover the major ideas in each chapter. I like the PhET simulation problem prompts in each chapter. These are supported by research, and help augment investigative skills that help bridge the text to the lab aspects of the course. Updates would be clear, if necessary, based on the breakdown of content.

The modern topics seem to be well organized and relevant for the type of student who would take College Physics. I would prefer that examples be moved to the end of each section, and would encourage students to skip reading examples until they finish reading the prose in each chapter. The text is brief. Truly, this needs to be evaluated by students in order to find out how clear they perceive it compared to other texts.

I feel other text possess better prose, but this texts gets to the point which I like. The brief nature of the text allows instructors to supplement more easily, though that is more work possibly, depending on the amount of supplementation the instructor feels is necessary. Very good framework. Again, the PhET inclusions are unexpected, and fantastic. Diagrams are pretty clear and the breakdown of topics into bite-sized chunks can work well for students.

While some subjects are not discussed in the way I would like such as separating free fall from regular motion analysis, as if it required different behaviors or ideas , I think the book approaches each chapter in a consistent way.

Students should have a strong expectation of what a chapter will look like and how workflow will proceed given the layout of the book. This is tough. Topics in physics tend to build on one another. I would really prefer to see waves discussed before thermodynamics. It would be logical to build that waves off of harmonic motion.

I don't understand why that discussion is moved to be after thermodynamics. That being said, there are examples of modular possibilities as you get into the later sections of the book, allowing instructors some freedom in choosing modern topics.

My biggest beef would be the requirement to teach motion first. The layout of the first few chapters WILL require this. I have found that, when teaching non-majors, that teaching forces first seems more successful than motion, and teaching them simultaneously is even better. This book would make teaching in either of these ways very difficult for students.

That being said, each of these changes would require totally separate editions. I have addressed several of these issues in a previous part of this review. I will re-state here, My biggest beef would be the requirement to teach motion first. The book is interfaced pretty well, with bookmarks necessary , and the hyperlinks I tested worked.

The navigations to PhET simulations are helpful, but it should be noted that while those links are maintained, updates to the PhETs are often completed and a student who navigates to these through the website may find different options or layouts of the PhETs themselves. THis may cause confusion.

I have seen this occur in other etexts with PhET stuff. The lack of other publisher text resources is noticeable. Links to many videos or minilectures can help some students, but again, this can be supplemented by the instructor at his or her leisure. I didn't run across any glaring errors. Problems could be stated more clearly in some cases, but that is tru for just about every text in existence. I didn't see anything offensive. I really like the inclusion of history and historical figures in this text.

The authors have done a fantastic job of realizing this can be a way to introduce content to students. Understanding the historical development of scientific knowledge should be part of the journey in a physics course. I think the authors have done a good job of making these connections. Even more of these connections would be even better. I am using this text next semester in an online course and hope to see further how much I feel the need to supplement in each case.

The textbook covers all the content you would expect from an introductory algebra-based physics course. All the topics i cover in my course are included in this textbook. This textbook seems up to date and able to be used for the foreseeable future.

The formulas can be confusing at times, it seems like they should have used a better editor for the mathematical components. The format of equations and numbers throughout seems to vary a bit. This text can be easily implemented into any algebra-based physics course. The text is an excellent template. I enjoyed the flow of the text. Mainly I thought the questions at the bottom of every section were useful for student comprehension.

As I mentioned above, I prefer the online version of the text. If you download the PDF the format changes slightly, though the text is still very useful. I have been in the business of teaching Freshman physics courses for more than 20 years. In fact, an attractive feature of College Physics is that it contains significantly more material spelling out the implications for the life and allied health sciences, integrated seamlessly into the body of the text.

Despite the considerable size of the book, it should be easy to use as a reference work: in addition to an adequate index at the end of the book , each chapter ends with a glossary and a detailed summary. Any book of this size cannot be entirely error free, but I cannot say I found any although I have yet to teach from the book. There is no discernible bias. I have some minor quibbles here and there about statements made in College Physics, but most of these have more to do with nuances of interpretation than inaccuracies, and do not impact on the utility of the book as an introductory text.

All of the core material covered by College Physics is well established, but the text is remarkable for its consistent attention to recent developments. In almost all cases, these are dealt with in such a way that frequent updating will not be required. The various sections which discuss the search for the Higgs boson and gravitational waves, now both discovered, are most clearly in need of revision, but the changes will be easy to implement.

The writing style is certainly accessible without being too informal. There is an unfortunate tendency to use technical terms in the introductions to chapters or sections before they have been defined. However, in all the instances I am aware of, it was possible to find the term defined not long thereafter, making this an irritating but, hopefully, not debilitating feature of the book for the neophyte. Of more concern is that many sections could do with an overhaul to improve their conciseness and clarity.

Sometimes, even when it is clear that an especial effort has been made with the composition of some section, the writing distracts from the point that is being made.

Perhaps, the most egregious instance occurs in section 4. The text has been suitably modularized. It will be straightforward to use it in conjunction with any course which covers only a small portion of the material in College Physics.

The organisation of the topics within the text is, by and large, standard. One departure from the norm is the inclusion of elasticity under a discussion of forces within the Newtonian paradigm. Usually, this material is deferred to a chapter dealing with the static equilibrium of structures, which then serves to motivate the phenomenological description of the response of materials to applied forces.

There are some formatting issues but none are serious. Some of the Chapter Outlines, which appear right at the beginning of each chapter, spill over to the next page see, for example, chapters 2, 6, 8, 11, 12, 13 , which makes it difficult to take in the content of a chapter at a glance surely one purpose of these outlines? Couldn't the pictures which appear above these outlines be cropped accordingly?

They add colour but have limited information content. Many of the worked examples in the text are spread over more than one page. It would possibly be an improvement if the glossaries appeared at the beginnings of chapters, immediately after the outline and before the text starts. Then readers can gauge if they are already familiar with the key concepts to be introduced in the chapter, and the authors would be less constrained in their prose by the need to carefully introduce terminology before they use it.

I am sure that the authors have been careful to eliminate as many grammatical errors as humanly possible. Nevertheless, there is one that has escaped their attention which appears at a rather prominent place in the text.

College Physics deals with the fruits of the scientific method. As such, the book should be and is culturally neutral. The illustrations which accompany the text do not display a predilection for any gender, ethnicity or race. I would like to congratulate the authors on their selfless achievement.

I hope that they will be able to summon up the motivation to continue the never-ending task of improving upon their already useful pedagogic tool.

This book is an excellent comprehensive text for a level algebra-based physics course. It explains all relevant physics concepts in a clear and consistent manner. The authors provide many biological and medical examples which makes it an ideal textbook for pre-med and bio-oriented students. In most level physics courses the majority of students are interested in pursuing a medical career.

Using this book as a course textbook will most likely motivate many pre-med and biology students to be more interested in understanding the basic concepts of physics.

Each chapter has its own glossary of terms which makes it easier for students to read the chapter before attending a lecture. End of chapter problems include integrated concept and unreasonable results problems.

For the instructor a manual is provided which contains both problems and solutions. This makes it easy to integrate examples into a lecture. More than 4, end-of chapter problems are available in WebAssign, an affordable online homework system. A student solutions manual is also available.

The book has very good appendices and is equivalent to other college physics text books. In general, the contents can be considered accurate and unbiased. These topics have nothing to do with medical applications of nuclear physics; therefore the title is not accurate. The concepts described in the book will not change. Applications as well as links to external websites will need to be updated and kept current.

Concepts are explained in a logical and consistent manner. All relevant terms are defined briefly in the glossary at the end of each chapter. The text contains many examples. Solutions to problems are well explained and follow a coherent step-by-step approach throughout the book. The book is well written and easy to read. Each chapter is divided into several sections. The modular version of the web view of the book allows to re-organize the chapters, create new modules, and add images.

This is only possible on the legacy site of Connexions. A PDF file of each chapter can also be created. Unfortunately, this has not yet been implemented for the new online version of the book at the time of this review.

The book follows the traditional approach used in most college physics text books. The topics are presented in a logical and clear fashion. Each chapter starts with the learning objectives followed by an introduction to the basic concepts with examples, and ends with applications.

The user interface with the browser version of the book is easy to navigate and well designed. The font is sans serif and very small. This is not a problem, if the user reads the book online or downloads the PDF file and reads it on a computer screen.

All browsers and Acrobat Reader offer the possibility to zoom in on the text. However, the printed version of the book is difficult to read. As this is a physics text book, the text is culturally unbiased.

Images are inclusive of different ethnicities and show a mix of gender. I highly recommend OpenStax's College Physics book to all instructors of introductory physics courses. I will use it in my summer courses.

The book seems accurate with given information, but sometimes the information is incomplete. For example, the fundamental SI units are not all listed at the beginning. With ease of making improvements, the book can last forever. Being an OER, constant changes would bring this text to life with current events and relevance to student lives. For example, in calculating uncertainties in the first chapter, I would have spent more time talking about how adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing values with uncertainties can affect the uncertainties of the answers.

The organization of the table of contents and thus, the chapters seems well done. I realize the pedagogical methods of the text values discoverybringing up concepts as they are neededversus topic-based organizationproviding all mathematical information at the beginning and using them throughout the book. I think that has more weight of acceptance today. Also, as a small side issue, the solutions for each HW problem are given nearer to the next HW problem, which could be confusing to some.

I think the HW problems are great assets to the text. Props for that great idea! The coverage in the book is similar to others such as Cutnell Physics or Knight. The chapter topics and order are virtually the same. I found the index to be more straightforward and organized in a way that "'students would think" to find I found the index to be more straightforward and organized in a way that "'students would think" to find information in the text.

The human body application problems are very good, particularly the torque problems in Chapter 9 There should be a handy reference for math and trigonometric identities in the Appendix. My students use them frequently. The information that I was able to review in most detail from Chapters 1 - 28 which our main coverages, was surprisingly accurate. No major errors were noticed. There are a good number of typos though throughout.

The eariy chapters were spot on. Chapters 18 - 24 could use a little tuning up as the chapters seem disconnected in reading. The Electricity and Magnetism chapters will probably need changes sooner than later. The hard drive example in a few years will probably be as useful as a vinyl record example.

Some eariler introduction of solid state examples may be prudent. The reading level is uneven throughout the text, but reads at a level that should be in the community college students' comfort zone. Some textbooks seam to read as if they were written by PhDs for PhDs. This book was a good read for students that are transitioning from developmental courses.

The structure of the text is fairly consistent with the usage of terms, examples, chapter and subchapter heading and divisions.

Again, this text falls in line with similar texts and there are always different ways to structure the material. The separation of fulid mechanics into statics and dynamics with applications is a good touch. There is an unevenness in the text after Fluids, but that seems typical of all of the trig-based level texts. The flow of the book is no better or worse that any other book on the market.

No one has published a text yet that doesn't turn into a selected topics in Physics after fluids. The question I always have from students in the later chapters is how does this relate to the earlier chapters. The linking and navigation components function fine in TOC and index as do the links to the figure within the chapters and the topic links in the examples. Some linking feature should be left out of the PDF. For example, the use of links to previous chapters in problem examples without a way to get back to what you were reading can be a bit annoying especially if you weren't keeping track of the page or example you were looking at.

I was surprised at the how well this book comparer to what we are currently using. I plan to recommend a pilot of this text in the upcoming spring semester. Since, it is a good equivalent, the price is an advantage.

The contents of this book are complete, and it is done in an orderly manner. The chapter titles are easily matched to the contents of the chapters. At the back of the book there is a glossary, but no index except for the electronic index. Finding material presented in one section, then used in problems later can be handled with the search feature which is called index. The content is accurate.

The book is well thought out and care has been taken in working the examples. There is no bias in the material. The book does not use names in the problems, since the problems are based on objects, such as electrons. Therefore, the book is cultural and gender neutral. This is typical of a physics book.
