The edits that you made to the main page of IB Physics have broken the table of contents so that none of the existing pages are accessible. This doesn't seem helpful on the face of it. Can you explain what you are doing? Thanks - QuiteUnusual (discuss • contribs) 15:18, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Sure! I am sorry for not writing this out in the documentation earlier. Essentially, the IB course has updated significantly since the last time it seems like any changes of reasonable size were made. This renders the organisation and a lot of the content of the old edition of the book unuseable for students taking the current IB Physics Syllabus, a group of which I am a part. For instance, the development stages on the main table of contents had not been updated since 2011 at the latest, and 2007 for the majority of chapters. In addition, I noticed that a lot of pages were incomplete and written in a manner that was difficult to read. Physics is a subject that, even further, requires proper mathematical notation to explain fully in a way that is useful to students taking the exam at the end of the course.

In summary, because
 * 1) The content is 9 to 13 years out of date,
 * 2) poorly and unclearly explained,
 * 3) and therefore is not useful in any means to the IB Physics student population, especially when other Physics books exist on this site that are better at explaining more general concepts,

I am attempting a rewrite of the IB Physics Book for the 2016 (current) syllabus. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leowebbhk (talk • contribs)


 * How about a new book based on the 2016 syllabus? You could leave the old one as it was, an create a new updated one. You could also import material from the old book, adapt it, and put it in your new one. I can help you with the process if needs be. -- Jules (Mrjulesd) 17:59, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
