The People's Physics Book Version 2 is intended to be used as one small part of a multifaceted strategy to teach physics conceptually and mathematically.
CK-12 readers should treat this FlexBook as a very early working draft. CK-12 is currently acquiring a preliminary review of the content and would like early feedback from its community of users. In the next phase, further editing will occur. This FlexBook can be used in its current form, "flexed" (customized), and/or printed by the user. CK-12 supports feedback on all of its FlexBooks so that they can be continually improved and updated.
