Talk:FHSST Physics

This book is great. Polishing up the grammar would make it really nice. Exercises would make it excellent, as currently the reader can learn a great deal, but not practice with the knowledge they've gained.

Pages with problems
FHSST Physics Electrostatics:Electrostatic Force: TeX cannot parse \AA or Å

Getting to the text-book
I can't figure out how to actually get to a non-print version of it. This makes it very difficult to read. user:Bawolff (not logged in)

Simple Harmonic Motion
There doesn't seem to be any mention of pendulums or oscillations of a spring in the wave chapter of the book. To me, this seems like a logical place to put it. Is this something that hasn't been put in yet or is it somewhere else?

Units in LaTeX Math Environment
By default, any text placed in a displaymath environment (or other types of math rendering environments) will be rendered as a variable, and mathematical spacing will be applied. I suggest using the following format:

$$\frac{1000\text{ joules}}{1000\text{ seconds}} = 1\text{W}$$

As opposed to:

$$\frac{1000 joules}{1000 seconds} = 1W$$

The solution is simple - use the \text{} function:

\frac{1000\text{ joules}}{1000\text{ seconds}} = 1\text{W} as opposed to \frac{1000 joules}{1000 seconds} = 1W

Hi

This is the framework for the material developed by the FHST group. Over the next few weeks I will upload the content into the appropiate pages.

Your book is now the Book of the Month. Do you (the people working on this book) have an image we could use on the front page? Reub2000 11:52, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Orphaned book module
The following is an orphaned book module. I'm not going to add the link to where it belongs, as I'll leave it to the participants to decide where it should go. This somehow was not linked into the main index and needs to be put in there somewhere:


 * FHSST Physics Collisions Explosions:Types of Collisions

I had a look and I don't understand what you mean by orphaned? There is a link to this page from the index page for FHSST_Physics, is that not sufficient? Marknewlyn

Coordinate with Connections Physics?
Sunil Singh, a Physicist in India, has been developing some great cc-by materials for Connextions: see for instance his kinematics fundamentals. The images and presentation are quite polished; this might make a good source of material to coordinate with the next iteration of tihs FHSST text. Sj 22:41, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Images
Did the images ever exist? There are many red imagelinks, like File:Fhsst electricity26.png, but no logs for such titles either here or on Commons (maybe they've been deleted in ancient times). --Nemo bis (discuss • contribs) 15:08, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
