It was felt to be too advanced for typical engineering students at Berkeley, but continued to be used there in honors courses for physics majors. Course adoption may have also been hindered by the initial choice of Gaussian units of measurement, and later editions of volumes 1 and 2 were eventually published with the Gaussian system replaced by ...
The Feynman Lectures on Physics is a physics textbook based on a great number of lectures by Richard Feynman, a Nobel laureate who has sometimes been called "The Great Explainer". [1] The lectures were presented before undergraduate students at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), during 1961–1964.
A 1966 revision of the first edition of Part I changed the title of the textbook to Physics. [1] It is widely used in colleges as part of the undergraduate physics courses, and has been well known to science and engineering students for decades as "the gold standard" of freshman-level physics texts.

[1] [6]: 17 The non-profit Educational Service Incorporated, which became Education Development Center, was created to continue the work of PSSC. 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]
Introduction to Elementary Particles, by David Griffiths, is an introductory textbook that describes an accessible "coherent and unified theoretical structure" of particle physics, appropriate for advanced undergraduate physics students. [1] It was originally published in 1987, and the second revised and enlarged edition was published 2008.
AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism and AP Physics 2 introduce topics from the second course in a standard college-level physics sequence. High school students who have already completed a first course in mechanics, such as AP Physics C: Mechanics or AP Physics 1, often proceed to either AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism or AP Physics ...
Conceptual physics is an approach to teaching physics that focuses on the ideas of physics rather than the mathematics. It is believed that with a strong conceptual foundation in physics, students are better equipped to understand the equations and formulas of physics, and to make connections between the concepts of physics and their everyday life.
