This is a web-native MyST Markdown edition of the Fall 2019 revision of University Physics I: Classical Mechanics. The book introduces classical mechanics for scientists and engineers, followed by waves and a brief introduction to thermodynamics.
This edition preserves the content of the source textbook. Its canonical
source is the MyST Markdown in this repository; the earlier PDF-derived LaTeX
extraction is retained under latex/ for provenance and comparison.
