The Fundamentals of Physics: Volume I (Force and Motion) (version 19.2)
This document is designed for the first semester of a two-semester algebra-based physics course for non-physics majors. It is subtitled "Force and Motion" because it examines the relationship between forces and (changes in) motion, with an emphasis on how to take a general idea (the relationship between force and motion) and apply it to many different situations (as opposed to having a different approach to every situation).The Fundamentals of Physics: Volume II (Using Models) (version 18.1)
This document is designed for the second semester of a two-semester algebra-based physics course for non-physics majors. It is subtitled "Using Models" because it examines how we construct conceptual models to help us interpret abstract ideas. As with Volume I, the emphasis is identifying conceptual models that apply to many different situations (as opposed to having a different model for every situation). The context of volume II is on the four fundamental forces (gravitational, electric, nuclear, and magnetic), the three main ways we describe interactions (forces, fields and energy), circuits (both DC and AC), and waves and optics.The Fundamentals of Physics: Volume I (Force and Motion) Checkpoint Answers (version 19.2)

The Fundamentals of Physics: Supplemental Readings (version 1.2)
This document is designed as a supplement for the two-volume textbook entitled "The Fundamentals of Physics". It contains reference information and some physics and mathematical content that could be added to the course based on instructor preference.The Fundamentals of Physics: Volume I (Force and Motion) Instructor Guide (version 19.2)

An Introduction to the Physics of Weather Prediction (version 11.2; in progress)
This document is designed for an introductory course on atmospheric physics, including atmospheric thermodynamics and dynamics, with a focus on the physics used in numerical weather prediction models. It assumes prior introductory coursework in physics, calculus and chemistry.
