Description

Electricity and Magnetism is a first-year course for about 250 Applied Physics students at TU Delft. To support learning, we developed an open, interactive textbook featuring short videos, descriptive texts, and Python-based illustrations. This article explores the creation process, content, and current use of the textbook in our teaching.
