This book provides a reference guide to the topics covered in most introductory physics courses. This book is geared towards students in a college-level introductory physics class, but can be used at the high school level. Topics covered include conservation laws, dynamics, electricity and magnetism, and topics in 20th and 21st century physics. Each chapter includes a brief outline of the key concepts, applications, and equations, and a series of problems to be solved. Answers to selected problems are also available.
