Required Course Materials

Textbook: Fundamentals of Physics, 8th edition, by Halliday, Resnick, and Walker.

Most of you will already have the Extended version with WileyPLUS access (ISBN 978-0470179482).  That is fine, although we will not be using WileyPLUS.

If you do not already have this text, choose the Extended version with no WileyPLUS (ISBN 978-0471758013).

Textbook: Modern Physics for Scientists and Engineers, 3rd edition, by Thornton and Rex (ISBN 0-534-41781-7)

You will also use this book in Analytical Physics IV, assuming that you continue with the sequence.

Note that this is a change from the last few years.  The previous text (by Serway, Moses, and Moyer) covers very similar material and could be a useful reference, but will not be refered to directly in class.
