Physics Lectures and Lecture Notes on Web

• Electronic Textbook for PFP 95 The original TeX document for this interdisciplinary course in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics was written by Dennis DeTurck and Larry Gladney at the University of Pennsylvania. The HTML document was generated using the LaTeX2HTML translator Version 0.5.3 Copyright © 1993, by Nikos Drakos, Computer Based Learning Unit, University of Leeds.
• Physics 109N Home Page: Galileo and Einstein Lecture Notes by Michael Fowler from Physics Dept. of University of Virginia.
• Introduction to Newtonian Mechanics This noncredit WEB course of elementary Newtonian Mechanics by Edward Kluk from Dickinson State University will be gradually developed till the end of 1997. Its essential parts are Java Applets simulating experiments with many kinds of motions. Consequently it will not work with Windows 3.1x. This course is a helper for college and high school students who are studying introductory physics and have already mastered a good high school algebra. It also can be used by instructors and teachers as a supplemental material for their courses.

Sets of Physics Problems

• The Interactive Physics Problem Set by Berkeley University contains about 100 Mechanics problems on the level of Physics 101. Many of the problems are illustrated with MPEG format movies, and for all of them detailed solutions are available.
• The Interactive Physics Problem Set by Oregon University contains hints and solutions.

• Nuclear Fusion Basics Nuclear Fusion is the energy-producing process which takes place continuously in the sun and stars. In the core of the sun at temperatures of 10-15 million degrees Celsius, Hydrogen is converted to Helium providing enough energy to sustain life on earth.
• Physicists Create New State of Matter Physicists in Boulder, Colo., have achieved a temperature far lower than has ever been produced before and created an entirely new state of matter predicted decades ago by Albert Einstein and Indian physicist Satyendra Nath Bose.
• An Introduction to High Temperature Superconductivity In 1911, Heike Kamerling Onnes discovered superconductivity (the ability of a material to carry electricity with no resistance) in mercury, cooled by once expensive and rare liquid helium to below the critical temperature of 4.2 Kelvins. And decades later ...

History of Physics
