Hi! I am writing a calculus-based HTTP://textbook.scotthill.us. It is an HTML-based book with animations, interactive demos, quizzes, and so forth. The first draft is almost complete (I still have to write chapters on integration, induction, and wave optics), but I wanted to share it with a wider audience and look for feedback.

If you're interested in following along in its development, please let me know. I've set up a Google Plus page for the book and for a related online class which I'll mention in another post.

Thanks!

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!

Thread 'How is Jackson’s Electrodynamics taught during undergraduate?'

I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
