This book is adapted from the College physics by OpenStax for the PHY232c course in MSU. Each chapter presents concepts and problem solving techniques to be worked weekly.
Every week students should read the assigned chapter and work on the homework assignment in LONCAPA. 3 times in the semester there will be special homework sets with problems similar to those that will be in the exam to be submitted via gradescope.
