College Physics Open Course

Complete materials from a first-year university physics course, algebra-based. Based on PHY131H1F, University of Toronto, Fall of 2024 (with some additional test questions from previous years). Class announcements, unscripted discussions, blank pauses, etc have been removed, and the materials have been organized by chapter for easy review and self-study.

Note: The purpose of the test questions is to give students practice at solving questions for which they do not have the solutions handy. If you have attempted these and want to check your answers, or if you are a teacher and want the solutions for grading purposes, please send an email to jason.harlow@utoronto.ca and I can provide you with written solutions and/or videos of the solutions.
