3.0 out of 5 stars
Decent text, unacceptable number of solutions errors,
By
This review is from: Physics for Scientists and Engineers, Volume 2: Electricity, Magnetism, Light, and Elementary Modern Physics (Hardcover)
The text is fairly straightforward and example problems are very helpful. The multitude of end-of-chapter problems are helpful as well, but the problem solutions in the back of the book have a particularly high number of errors. With most science texts, one might expect an error here or there, generally one or two errors per book, but in this book I find one or two (sometimes more) errors per chapter. Of course, I'm talking about solutions; I haven't discovered any errors in the text itself. My other qualm is that the end-of-chapter equations list excludes some important equations, requiring unnecessary digging back through the chapter.
I give this book three stars, though, because the quality of text is good; if it weren't for the solutions errors, I'd give it four stars. Among the physics books I've used in this and previous classes, this book is the easiest to learn from. Buy it used, wait for a new edition, or be sure you have a professor who realizes what the errors are.
