The following *.pdf files are a summary of the topics covered in the PHY130 series classes. They are meant as a suppliment a textbook, or as a tex-book on its own to assist the student in understanding the basic physics in our first year Physics for Scientists and Engineers sequence.

I have also included the source code written in tex (latex), which I have given the extension *.txt so your browser will recognize it as an ascii text file. All instructors are welcome to download these source codes and modify them to the needs of their class. I have included only a few figures so as to make the tex file as simple as possible. Please let me know via e-mail if you develop these notes further as I would like to link to your tex-book.
