What are the benefits of using OpenStax.org physics books in college courses?

Thank you for your replying. I most like Classical Mechanics in my studied subjects.

Yes liked that too when I got to college and learned the Principle Of Least Action. Prof Susskind wrote a book called Classical Mechanics the Theoretical Minimum that discusses it quite well.

Also the Feynman Lectures are now online and you can read some challenging physics taught in the first year of college.

They can be very tough to read but if you’re up for a challenge go for it.

Welcome again.

Oh! Thank you! I think Prof. Susskind's book is being sold as the title '물리의 정석' in Korea.

I've read this book once. Yes. It was difficult and not all the contents were comprehended. But I started to study Classical Mechanics with this book and think this book is really good.

Thank you again.

Another resource is the OpenStax.org physics books. They are being used in first year college courses as an alternative to expensive books of publishers.
