5.0 out of 5 stars
Everything
This is one of the best undergraduate college based approach to physics from Calculus. It covers most of the stuff which students run into, and great examples to make concepts clear in different perspectives. The book is great, and somehow I did not find much use of the CD-ROM. Perhaps, when lecture halls get computerized.

Very Badly Written
Before I graduated from college, I found this textbook lying in the student union with a "free textbook" sign on it. I grabbed it, in hopes that I would one day have time to teach myself physics. That time came, and diving into this textbook was like diving into jello. I realize that the authors are physics professors, not English professors, but the writing...

Very Badly Written,
This review is from: Physics for Scientists and Engineers, Volume I (with Student Tools CD-ROM) (Hardcover)
Before I graduated from college, I found this textbook lying in the student union with a "free textbook" sign on it. I grabbed it, in hopes that I would one day have time to teach myself physics.
That time came, and diving into this textbook was like diving into jello. I realize that the authors are physics professors, not English professors, but the writing is so bad in places that it takes my breath. It is possible to read whole sections of this book and find nothing but passive constructions and linking verbs. The writing is so bad in places that it seems like a sort of sinister joke. The stylistic problems, combined with the authors' self-described "quantitative approach," make this a terrible choice for anyone who has a choice (sorry students). In the end, "you get what you pay for."
