Designed for medical professionals who may struggle with making the leap to conceptual understanding and applying physics, the eighth edition continues to build transferable problem-solving skills. It includes a set of features such as Analyzing-Multiple-Concept Problems, Check Your Understanding, Concepts & Calculations, and Concepts at a Glance. This helps the reader to first identify the physics concepts, then associate the appropriate mathematical equations, and finally to work out an algebraic solution.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for any algebra-based physics class!, May 17, 2011
By 
Dr. D (New York United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Physics (Hardcover)
This book totally rocks if you're taking an algebra-based physics course at the community college or four-year university level. It's also great if you're studying for the MCAT. The problems at the end of each chapter are decent, but that's where this review gets a four star rating rather than five: Some of the problems are too convoluted and long. Why should physics problems have to be huge paragraphs in length, especially when it becomes very difficult to draw a diagram from the wording? I actually had to write to the author about a few of the problems, and he was courteous enough to write me back. The end result of our little exchange was that the problems under discussion will be revised in time for the next edition! Gotta love it!

Overall though, I had the absolute worst professor ever for General Physics I, but I still pulled through with an A by constantly referring to this book. Physics II begins in only a few days, so I'm expecting another A (and hopefully, a better professor!).

4.0 out of 5 stars Good building block, April 3, 2011
This review is from: Physics (Kindle Edition)
As a high school physics teacher, I think this book is fantastic. I would not recommend it for an introductory HS class (but maybe for college) but it is a great for AP physics. The explanations are very clear and there are a lot of sample problems. There are also a lot of ties to medical applications. The problems at the back also have a great range from real easy to killer hard.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing physics textbook!, December 23, 2009
This review is from: Physics (Hardcover)
Used this for a non-calculus based physics course and even though I missed a ton of class I ended up acing the course because I just studied from the textbook. You are lucky if your professor picks this book!
