Abstract

If you have a computer and a grasp of algebra, you can learn physics. That is one of the messages behind the release of Physics—The Root Science, a new full‐text version of a physics textbook available at no cost on the World Wide Web.The interactive textbook is the work of the International Institute of Theoretical and Applied Physics (IITAP) at Iowa State University, which was established in 1993 as a partnership with the United Nations Education, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). With subject matter equivalent to that of a 400‐page volume, the text is designed to be completed in one school year. The textbook also will eventually include video clips of experiments and interactive learning modules, as well as links to appropriate cross‐references about fundamental principles of physics.
