Introductory Physics IElementary MechanicsbyRobert G. BrownDuke University Physics DepartmentDurham, NC 27708-0305rgb@phy.duke.edu

Copyright NoticeCopyright Robert G. Brown 1993, 2007, 2013

NoticeThis physics textbook is designed to support my personal teaching activities at DukeUniversity, in particular teaching its Physics 141/142, 151/152, or 161/162 series (Introductory Physics for life science majors, engineers, or potential physics majors, respectively).It is freely available in its entirety in a downloadable PDF form or to be read online at:http://www.phy.duke.edu/ rgb/Class/intro physics 1.phpIt is also available in an inexpensive (really!) print version via Lulu press lwhere readers/users can voluntarily help support or reward the author by purchasingeither this paper copy or one of the even more inexpensive electronic copies.By making the book available in these various media at a cost ranging from free tocheap, I enable the text can be used by students all over the world where each student canpay (or not) according to their means.Nevertheless, I am hoping that students who truly find this work useful will purchasea copy through Lulu or a bookseller (when the latter option becomes available), if onlyto help subsidize me while I continue to write inexpensive textbooks in physics or othersubjects.This textbook is organized for ease of presentation and ease of learning. In particular, they are hierarchically organized in a way that directly supports efficient learning.They are also remarkably complete in their presentation and contain moderately detailedderivations of many of the important equations and relations from first principles while notskimping on simpler heuristic or conceptual explanations as well.As a “live” document (one I actively use and frequently change, adding or deletingmaterial or altering the presentation in some way), this textbook may have errors greatand small, “stub” sections where I intend to add content at some later time but haven’t yetfinished it, and they cover and omit topics according to my own view of what is or isn’timportant to cover in a one-semester course. Expect them to change with little warning orannouncement as I add content or correct errors.Purchasers of the paper version should be aware of its probable imperfection and beprepared to either live with it or mark up their copy with corrections or additions as needbe. The latest (and hopefully most complete and correct) version is always available forfree online anyway, and people who have paid for a paper copy are especially welcometo access and retrieve it.I cherish good-hearted communication from students or other instructors pointing outerrors or suggesting new content (and have in the past done my best to implement manysuch corrections or suggestions).

Books by Robert G. BrownPhysics Textbooks Introductory Physics I and IIA lecture note style textbook series intended to support the teaching of introductoryphysics, with calculus, at a level suitable for Duke undergraduates. Classical ElectrodynamicsA lecture note style textbook intended to support the second semester (primarilythe dynamical portion, little statics covered) of a two semester course of graduateClassical Electrodynamics.Computing Books How to Engineer a Beowulf ClusterAn online classic for years, this is the print version of the famous free online book oncluster engineering. It too is being actively rewritten and developed, no guarantees,but it is probably still useful in its current incarnation.Fiction The Book of LilithISBN: 978-1-4303-2245-0Web: http://www.phy.duke.edu/ rgb/Lilith/Lilith.phpLilith is the first person to be given a soul by God, and is given the job of giving allthe things in the world souls by loving them, beginning with Adam. Adam is given thejob of making up rules and the definitions of sin so that humans may one day live inan ethical society. Unfortunately Adam is weak, jealous, and greedy, and insists onbeing on top during sex to “be closer to God”.Lilith, however, refuses to be second to Adam or anyone else. The Book of Lilith isa funny, sad, satirical, uplifting tale of her spiritual journey through the ancient worldsoulgiving and judging to find at the end of that journey – herself.Poetry Who Shall Sing, When Man is GoneOriginal poetry, including the epic-length poem about an imagined end of the worldbrought about by a nuclear war that gives the collection its name. Includes many longand short works on love and life, pain and death.Ocean roaring, whipped by stormin damned defiance, hating hellwith every wave and every swell,every shark and every shelland shoreline.

Hot Tea!More original poetry with a distinctly Zen cast to it. Works range from funny andsatirical to inspiring and uplifting, with a few erotic poems thrown in.Chop water, carrywood. Ice all around,fire is dying. Winter Zen?All of these books can be found on the online Lulu store here:http://stores.lulu.com/store.php?fAcctID 877977The Book of Lilith is available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble and other online bookseller websites.

This physics textbook is designed to support my personal teaching activities at Duke University, in particular teaching its Physics 141/142, 151/152, or 161/162 series (Introduc- tory Physics for life science majors, engineers, or potential physics majors, respectively).
