###### ORIGINAL SUBMISSION DETAILS ######

System Group Name:
-----------------
  introphysics


Full Name:
----------
  Introductory Physics
  

Type:
-----
  non-GNU


License:
-------- 
  GNU General Public License V2 or later


Other License:

Description:
------------
  The intent of this project is to provide a freely available, high quality,
and contemporary physics textbook, which is suitable for non-calculus and
calculus-based high school physics courses as well as introductory college
level courses. The book will be written in LaTeX with charts and graphs
written in Gnuplot when possible. All photographs and other images will be
released under a license providing equal or greater freedom of usage as that
of the license under which the entire project will be licensed. The output of
this project will be in PDF and may include other formats as demand
necessitates.



The content of this physics textbook will be consistent with other textbooks
of the same scope including Newtonian physics, waves, light, thermodynamics,
etc.. The source files and output will be written in American English, but
may be translated into other languages as allowed by translation resources.



The project will initially be based upon the public domain book (published in
1906) "A First Course In Physics," which will be rewritten in LaTeX by the
project's director. The resulting LaTeX rewrite will then be opened for
others to modernize and expand. The number of others expected to regularly
contribute to the project is approximately five. The people who are expected
to contribute are physics teaches like myself.


Other Software Required:
------------------------
  To compile the book Gnuplot and LaTeX along with its normal macros are
necessary. There are no other dependencies.


Other Comments:
---------------
  I have sent and email to address@hidden with a .zip file
containing the source code that I have produced so far as well as a .pdf file
compiled from it. The subject line of this email is "Introductory Physics"
