By the 1964–1965 school year, about half the US students enrolled in high school physics (200,000 students, 5000 teachers) were reportedly using the PSSC course materials. [6] However, considerable resistance developed among some teachers to the disruption of traditional methods of teaching.
Prospective physicists, Kevin Dempsey and Jeffery Wetherhold, attended several of Hewitt's lectures. He would be one of the first to adopt the Hewitt philosophy on conceptual physics. [citation needed] In 1987, Hewitt began writing a high-school version of Conceptual Physics, which was published by Addison–Wesley. Hewitt taught classes on his ...
The Berkeley course was contemporary with The Feynman Lectures on Physics (a college course at a similar mathematical level), and PSSC Physics (a high school introductory course). These physics courses were all developed in the atmosphere of urgency about science education created in the West by Sputnik. Because of the government support ...
In addition to the mentioned classic books, in recent years there have been a few well-received electromagnetic textbooks published for graduate studies in physics, with one of the most notable being Modern Electrodynamics by Andrew Zangwill published in 2013, which has been praised by many physicists like John Joannopoulos, Michael Berry, Rob ...
