I think this book is fairly good if your looking for practice problems to work through. It starts out with pretty easy ones and then gives you progressively harder ones towards the end. There are plenty of step by step examples of how to solve the problems using the formulas throughout the chapter and they give derivations for almost all the equations. Yet it is called "Collage Physics" for a reason. It is not a beginner's book, yet it is also not so complicated that you will be lost for hours on end.

The title is not kidding when it calls itself "College" physics. Anyone using this textbook needs to be familiar with algebra and geometry as well. This book will not hold your hand and walk you through the basics of physics. It throws you in, head-first, and it's up to you to sink or swim.

This book provide detailed information about various physics topics along with helpful sample problems that was very beneficial and helped me do good on exams.

This is the book you should buy for BOTH first and second semester physics classes. It has ALL the same information as its newer edition counterparts which are 150$+ and runs at about 4$. I made the mistake of purchasing only the first half of the book (which is also 4$) not knowing it would only be good for first semester physics. Make sure you get this book if youre planning on taking 2 semesters.

I don't think I am a good source to review this book, since I hate physics. I am sure the authors of this book worked hard trying to write a great physics book, but I just don't get it. Maybe some day I will understand the subject.

Good book for a first year physics course. Provides good examples to reinforce the concepts covered in each section.

I thought it was the entire college physics book, but it was only a portion. I also didnt recieve it in the time it was said to arrive. The book is in good condition though, like new.

book is in good condition and not that many marks inside. Fairly in good shape.
