Advanced Placement Physics 1 Notes

These notes are based on College Physics by Raymond Serway and Jerry S. Faughn.


In no way are these notes a substitute for your own personal notes. They are an overview of the class. They don't have the specifics, and they are not aware of any things added to the lecture.
