Main Page
Welcome to the Georgia Tech Wiki for Intro Physics. This resources was created so that students can contribute and curate content to help those with limited or no access to a textbook. When reading this website, please correct any errors you may come across. If you read something that isn't clear, please consider revising it! Even better, if you can help with a contribution, pick a specific topic from intro physics and add under the appropriate category listed below by editing this page. Then copy and paste the default Template into your new page and start editing. Please remember that this is not a textbook and you are not limited to expressing your ideas with only text and equations. Whenever possible include: pictures, videos, diagrams, simulations, computational models (e.g. Glowscript), and whatever content you think can make learning physics easier.
Source Material
All of the content added to this resource must be in the public domain or similar free resource. If you are unsure about a source, contact the original author for permission. That said, there is a surprisingly large amount of introductory physics content scattered across the web.
Organizing Catagories
These are the broad, overarching categories, that we cover in two semester of introductory physics. You can add subcategories or make a new category as needed. A single topic should direct readers to a page on that topic.
