Talk:OpenStax Physics/Equations

At the moment, my plan is to create the resource OpenStax equations, since it represents a natural evolution of Physics equations,

• OpenStax equations/University physics/V1
• OpenStax equations/University physics/V2 will host OpenStax University Physics/Volume 2
• OpenStax equations/University physics/V3
• OpenStax equations/College physics

One ingredient to my plan is to support variations, which I initially thought would use transclusions. After fussing with them on Volume 1 and College Physics, I decided not to use them. Instead, letters will be used to identify variations. For example,

• OpenStax equations/University physics/V1 will contain OpenStax University Physics Volume 1/Equations (master), because this variation most closely follows the current version of the online textbook.
  • OpenStax equations/University physics/V1/A will contain OpenStax_University_Physics_Volume_1/Formulas_(master), which is an attempt to condense the equations to as few pages as possible for printout for use by students during exams.
  • OpenStax equations/University physics/V1/B might contain Wright_State_University_Lake_Campus/University_Physics_Volume_1/Equations, which is customized for one course currently being taught at Lake Campus.

The use of A, B, C to denote variations is not mandatory, but seems like a good place to start till we have a better understanding of how different instructors will use these equations. --Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 19:00, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
