Intro Physics A new online introductory E&M textbook (in progress…)

AI Thread Summary
A calculus-based textbook is in development, featuring HTML format with animations, interactive demos, and quizzes. The first draft is nearing completion, with remaining chapters on integration, induction, and wave optics. The author seeks feedback and has created a Google Plus page for updates and a related online class. One participant expressed interest, noting the textbook's usefulness for their E&M course and added it to their online catalog.

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!

This thread only works as a summary from the original source: List of STEM Masterworks in Physics, Mechanics, Electrodynamics... The original thread got very long and somewhat hard to read so I have compiled the recommendations from that thread in an online (Google Drive) spreadsheet. SUMMARY Permits are granted so you can make comments on the spreadsheet but I'll initially be the only one capable of edition. This is to avoid the possibility of someone deleting everything either by mistake...
By looking around, it seems like Dr. Hassani's books are great for studying "mathematical methods for the physicist/engineer." One is for the beginner physicist [Mathematical Methods: For Students of Physics and Related Fields] and the other is [Mathematical Physics: A Modern Introduction to Its Foundations] for the advanced undergraduate / grad student. I'm a sophomore undergrad and I have taken up the standard calculus sequence (~3sems) and ODEs. I want to self study ahead in mathematics...
