----
h4. The goal of this textbook is to teach you a new way to think, to allow you to share your insights and questions (it is a WIKI) and to learn a modeling approach to problem solving.  The content is for introductory physics - in particular, Newtonian Mechanics.

Physics will ask you to:
* Look at the world through the lenses of simple physical models that represent common underlying patterns and interactions in nature.
* Develop a facility in using these models to understand and solve problems with real-world applications - both qualitatively and quantitatively.
* Learn how to check your solutions to problems for reasonableness to develop confidence and to further your understanding.

h4. The form of this textbook, a WIKI, will allow for user contributions, and especially comments for the authors.

 Certain content areas will allow you to make contributions of your own.
