Salutations All,
IntrO; I'm a Teacher of Physics based in Melbourne Australia, teaching at a
major state High School (Balwyn High School - www.balwynhs.vic.edu.au). I'm
inovleved in what we call the Rural Physics Project, providing support to
isolated Teachers and Students of physics.
I'm plkeased to be part of this project, even though what I may offer may be
interrupted by the demands of 150 odd students from time to time. I'll start
work on the EMspec as soon as I've perused the current books to get an idea of
style and level.
The school I am working at has been working on providing our own notes and
textbook-supplement for the last 5 years; we found that the local TB publishers
had rather strong opinions on what should be in the course - an opinion that
seems to be at significant variance from the curriculum providers. I can make
these notes available if you'd like to see them, however they are more of a
lecture support nature as against a building-blocks up TB approach.
At this point is there any sort of timeline? Guidelines? Editing process? Style
Documents?
All the Best, and glad to be working with you,
Andrew Grichting.

Hi everyone
I would like to welcome 4 new members to the list:
Neil Govender
Andrew Grichting
Michael Banks
Andy Higginbotham
Physics had slowed significantly 2 months ago but we now have 6 active
members which is great (and around that many sections to do before we
enter the editing phase :) The other two active members are Gerald
Wigger and myself.
Neil arrived first and he's taken on the transformers section. I
reviewed everyones emails and we require content on:
* Electromagnetic Spectrum
* Photoelectric Effect
* Magnets and Magnetic Fields (but not EM) - so things like what is a
magnetic, info about the poles, the earth's magnetic field etc. Some
of this is written but it needs work
* Optics - the whole chapter is only being started so if anyone wants
one of these sections they are up for grabs but require some LaTeX
and PSTricks knowledge
* Gerald is working on the Heat and Properties of Matter chapter but
there are sections in that chapter could be written too.
How about:
Michael - can I give you a section from optics as you know PSTricks?
Andy - can I give you one of the Heat and Properties of Matter section
that Gerald hasn't started yet
Andrew - can I give you the Electromagnetic spectrum and Photoelectfic
Effect sections?
Please shout if thats not good for you or if you have any other
preferences! I will send more detailed descriptions for each of the
sections after getting an update from Gerald.
Cheers,
Mark
