ONLINE BOOKS DEVELOPED BY THE PARADIGMS TEAM
All of these books were written
in PreTeXt for portability;
the online versions incorporate interactive applets written
in GeoGebra and
SageMath.
-
The Geometry of Mathematical Methods
-
A geometric treatment of a wide variety of mathematical topics across
the physics curriculum.
-
(A PDF version is also available, but it
is missing all of the interactivity of the online version, nor is it
kept up to date.)
-
The Geometry of Vector Calculus
-
A geometric treatment of multivariable and vector calculus, used in
calculus courses.
-
The Geometry of Static Fields
-
A geometric treatment of electro- and magnetostatics, including
related mathematical methods, especially vector calculus.
-
The Geometry of Central Forces
-
A geometric treatment of the classical mechanics of orbits and the
quantum mechanics of the unperturbed quantum hydrogen atom,
including related mathematical methods.
-
A Study of the Development of the Paradigms in Physics Program
-
How the Paradigms in Physics program was developed.
Three traditional printed textbooks were also developed as part of the
Paradigms project. Further information can be found on our (deprecated)
original website
(which also lists an early version of GVC).
