Fundamentals of Physics
Reference material by Wikibooks contributors. This retains its source identity and is not 411 news reporting.
Physics is an essential subject for many professions like astronomy, engineering, rocket science, architecture, and so on. A good free text book is absolutely essential. A book like Fundamentals of Physics 978-0-471-32000-5 by Halliday, Resnick, and Walker is the standard for many schools and colleges. This wikibook project is to create a similar kind of book with far greater quality. Please join us to educate the world.
