Robert Karplus' Introductory Physics: A Model Approach is an innovative textbook, written by a brilliant, inspiring teacher and pioneer in physics teaching reform. The book originated the key ideas of the modeling approach for teaching physics. This approach has been further evolved, developed and implemented by David Hestenes and many others, including Gregg Swackhamer, Malcolm Wells and Jane Jackson. In cooperation with Karplus' widow, Elizabeth Karplus, Dr. Brunschwig edited and published the Second Edition of Introductory Physics in 2003. This site includes a variety of additional materials that Brunschwig has developed related to the Karplus textbook.Fernand Brunschwig is a member of the faculty at Empire State College.
