A new online introductory E&M textbook (in progress…)

In summary, the conversation is about a calculus-based textbook with interactive elements and quizzes that is almost complete except for a few chapters. The person is looking for feedback and has set up a Google Plus page for the book and a related online class. The other person is interested in using the book for their E&M course and has added it to their online catalog.

Hi! I am writing a calculus-based HTTP://textbook.scotthill.us. It is an HTML-based book with animations, interactive demos, quizzes, and so forth. The first draft is almost complete (I still have to write chapters on integration, induction, and wave optics), but I wanted to share it with a wider audience and look for feedback.

If you're interested in following along in its development, please let me know. I've set up a Google Plus page for the book and for a related online class which I'll mention in another post.

Thanks!
