→ Read the book in PDF format

When I took Physics AP in high school, I made a study guide. As we moved through the syllabus, I’d read a book chapter and review my notes from class, and add to my study guide before each test. At the end of the class, I had a 115-page document that was quite helpful in preparing for the AP exam.

The book is very terse and features lots of equations but only two diagrams. It focuses on presenting and logically connecting the most salient concepts and equations in the Physics AP C coursework, but isn’t intended to be a primary textbook. It also contains some weak jokes; I apologize for any bad writing by 17-year-old self.

I intended from the start to publish the book online, under a Free license. But in the 7 years since I took the exam, it I’ve never gotten around to it. Until now.

Presenting Physics AP in Review:

The book could probably use some tidying up or, if it’s close to useful, a new maintainer who still has an interest in AP Physics. I hope it’s useful to someone!
