The text for this course is College Physics: A Strategic Approach, 1st Ed. by Knight, Jones and Field. This course will cover topics from Chapters 1–16.

We strongly recommend that you purchase the bundled version at the bookstore, which includes the textbook (a custom edition for Penn State: Vol 1: ISBN-10: 0-555-02406-7), the recitation materials (College Physics: A Strategic Approach Student Workbook, Vol. 1, 1st Ed. By Knight and Andrews), and a WebAssign access card.

The reading quizzes and numerical homework assignments will be administered through WebAssign, a web-based homework program. Access to WebAssign is automatically enabled for all students enrolled in the course when classes begin, but does require registration within the first two weeks of classes. Registration is obtained by either purchasing a WebAssign card at one of the bookstores (included in the bundle) or making a payment online (https://www.webassign.net/psu/login.html) .
