Light and Matter - Open Source Physics Textbooks
written by Benjamin Crowell
This web site is the home of Light and Matter Physics, a series of textbooks available online for no cost. There are six main textbooks:
  • Light and Matter -- physics for students majoring in the life sciences
  • Simple Nature -- physics for scientists and engineers, with a nontraditional order of topics
  • Mechanics -- introductory mechanics for scientists and engineers, with a traditional order of topics
  • Conceptual Physics
  • Calculus
  • General Relativity
The goal of the effort is to provide high quality textbooks available for free download and editing.
