PHYS 100 :: Physics Illinois :: University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Required Materials: What do I have to purchase for the course?

Required Materials

iClicker (new from the bookstore or used. More info about iClickers in this course)

Recommended Materials

This course doesn't have an official textbook, but I really recommend getting one as a reference. For instance:

Any calculus-based introductory physics textbook that you like, as a reference (for example, any edition of Tipler & Mosca, "Physics for Scientists & Engineers" or Resnick, Halliday & Walker, "Fundamentals of Physics"). Older editions are often available for cheap.
OpenStax - University Physics I, a free online textbook

Optional Materials

Gladding, Selen & Stelzer Classical Mechanics, W.H. Freeman
(this is an inexpensive printed companion to smartPhysics for Physics 211, and is suggested but not required).
The bookstore sells a physical copy of the 2019 PHYS100 lecture notes. These lecture notes are slightly different than mine. It isn't required, and my lecture slides will be available on the course website after class.
