Recommended Text: Fundamentals
of Physics, 10th Edition

Walker (2014)
The best and cheapest option in the
long run is to buy WileyPlus
Instant Access to the Extended version which comes with an online textbook that
can also be used for the subsequent physics course 1304 or 1308 and for the WileyPlus homework system that many instructors require
(though I do not). If
this is the only physics course you will take, a second-hand printed textbook
may be cheaper.
