This is a set of class notes for physics. This hardcopy is provided so that you can fully participate in class discussions without having to worry about writing everything down.

While these notes are intended to be reasonably complete, you will probably want to add your own notes. If you have purchased this copy, you are encouraged to write directly in it, just as you would write in your own notebook. However, if this copy was issued to you by the school and intend to return it at the end of the year, you will need to write your supplemental notes on separate paper. If you do this, be sure to write down page numbers in your notes, to make cross-referencing easier.

You should bring these notes to class every day. Besides their obvious usefulness in knowing/ remembering how to do the homework, in most instances, you will be allowed to use them during quizzes and tests, because the point of these assessments is not to see what you can remember, but to see how well you can apply what you have learned.

These notes will be used with both the Honors and CP Physics I classes. However, the CP course requires less depth, and will skip some of the topics and sections of these notes.
