This site contains three free books by Emeritus Professor Frank Firk, former Chairman of the Department of Physics, Yale University. The first, Essential Physics 1 , is an intensive introduction for potential Physics majors.
A set of instructional pages written in an easy-to-understand language and complemented by graphics and Check Your Understanding sections. An ideal starting location for those grasping for understanding or searching for answers. A large collection of GIF animations and QuickTime movies designed to demonstrate physics principles in a visual manner. Each animation is accompanied by explanations and links to further information. A collection of pages which feature interactive Shockwave files that simulate a physical situation.
We have been increasingly using Flash animations for illustrating Physics content. This page provides access to those animations which may be of general interest. The animations will appear in a separate window. The animations are sorted by category, and the file size of each animation is included in the listing. Also included is the minimum version of the Flash player that is required; the player is available free from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ .
