Not really the best but IT IS A GOOD BOOK,
By "physica" (Cincinnati, OHIO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fundamentals of College Physics (Hardcover)
It is a decent book and is bascially meant to brush up your fundamentals.In that way it does fulfill it's function. The exercises are there so that you can practise your theoritical knowledge and that happens when you do not have access to solutions easily.Otherwise one tends to reach out for the solution manual at every stage. I would recommend it if you want to use it as a book to have most of the fundamentals explained in 1 book so that you can look it up anytime you want.

A great homework aid,
By Scott Bohlman (Eastern Shore, MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fundamentals of College Physics (Hardcover)
I personally thought that this book was very useful, especailly with homework which was assigned out of a different text for Physics 101 course. The answer manual was helpful when working problems, but the in-text examples were what really helped. Nolan's text examines problems with metric and standard units as opposed to just using one set of units throughout the entire book. Overall the book was helpful in getting me through most of my assigned homework.
