A new two‐year elementary physics course being developed at Berkeley has produced its first textbook, Laboratory Physics, Part A, which appeared at the end of September. Work on the course goes back to 1962, when an interuniversity committee was formed at Berkeley to develop it. Specific objectives of the committee were to introduce coherently the ideas of special relativity, quantum physics, and statistical physics into an elementary curriculum. The material which is emerging is intended for all students who have had a physics course in high school and who are taking a calculus course concurrently.
