This is for Calculus-Based Physics as part of our comprehensive parallel pedagogy curriculum, which are open source, and free for you to use, download, and distribute as you find best supports your classes. You may also be interested to the Text for Algebra-Based Physics, or the Conceptual Textbook.
These chapters are provided as a supplement to the instruction or assigned videos and class work for the parallel pedagogy curriculum, as described in a May, 2017 The Physics Teacher publication. They are very short and simple with the intention that students will actually read them. Simple examples illustrate the concepts introduced, but the reader has access to many more examples and solutions via problem sets, exams and videos accessible from the class website of Spring 2017.
