AP Physics C

General Resources

We are making available an OpenStax digital textbook. It's free and accessible any time you need it. Some of the material is quite clear and illuminating of basic concepts.

OpenStax Volume 1

OpenStax Volume 2

We will also issue you a copy of our previous textbook (Serway).  It has many useful examples and better problems than OpenStax.

This document contains a list of reading assignments and book problems for the entire course.

Course Syllabus

This folder contains full-length multiple choice exams. We will practice selected problems from these exams in each unit. These are restricted to student use only and must not be shared electronically.
