I have just been hired to teach an "algebra based college physics
course"
at a local community college. This is my first time teaching. The text
is _Physics, Principles with Applications_ by Douglas C. Giancoli.
There are twelve students. About half have had only algebra. Of the
remainder, all have had pre-calculus and one or two have had calculus.
.
   --> Anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with
       such diverse math backgrounds in a course of this
       type?
   --> Anyone have experience with this text book?
   --> Anyone have general suggestions for supplementary
       material for a course of this type. (I think
       the PSSC high school book looks good.)
   --> Anyone know whether Giancoli can be reached on
       the net?
