Course Resources General Overview Insider knowledge on the best textbooks and practice resources is a great boon when balancing the chaos of academics and responsibilities. Streamline your search with our list of helpful resources for physics and math courses! You can find the textbooks below from the library, and if you are using the books as a supplemental learning material, you can use a different edition of the same book. Open Stacks is also another wonderful resource for a variety of subjects.
