Textbook:  
The “official” textbook, “Fundamentals of Physics, 9th edition, Volume 1”, 
by David Halliday, Robert Resnik, and Jearl Walker.  The “unofficial” textbook 
is the 8th edition, Volume 1.  NOTE:  Volume 1 contains Chapters 1 to 20, inclusive, 
and it is sometimes sold as Part 1 and Part 2 of the first part of the tome.  
DO NOT CONFUSE these items with Volume 2 and Part 3 and Part 4 of the entire tome.  
Either edition, 8th or 9th, will work for this course, as the 9th edition is only 
incrementally different than the 8th.  Homework problems that are assigned 
will specify the edition and number and are otherwise the same.  
For this semester, you will NOT NEED the online homework code or any other 
resources that the UF Bookstore might try to sell you.  As of the end of April 2012, 
the UF Bookstore (online) was posting a price of $70 (not including tax) for 
Volume 1, 9th edition. and this UF pricing, should include a code that allows 
access to “WileyPlus”.  Alternatively, there appears to be UF pricing for 
Volume 1 of the 9th edition in electronic format along with acces to “WileyPlus” 
for about $30, see http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/Section/id-404361,redirect-HE.html.  
(Note: when the advertisement says “your professor”, it does not mean me but one or 
several of my colleagues in the department.)  Finally, I was able to find a hardcopy of 
the 8th edition of Volume1 for under $20, including shipping.
