5.0 out of 5 stars This Is The Book If You Need Help with Physics
Beginning with the "How To Use This Book" and "How To Excel in Your Physics Course", (especially the latter) and throughout its pages, this is, without a doubt in this readers opinion, the very best book on the subject I have found to date (And I have many). It puts you through the paces. If you want to know this subject and excel in it, these...

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent book - many errors
This book is a decent book for those being taking a freshman physics course for non-majors. This is a good supplement to a calculus based physics textbook.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Is The Book If You Need Help with Physics, January 16, 2000
This review is from: How to Solve Physics Problems (College Course) (Paperback)
Beginning with the "How To Use This Book" and "How To Excel in Your Physics Course", (especially the latter) and throughout its pages, this is, without a doubt in this readers opinion, the very best book on the subject I have found to date (And I have many). It puts you through the paces. If you want to know this subject and excel in it, these authors have placed before you the practice you will need. I recommend this book highly for your first experiences in this subject. Starting with the mathematical background required; then on to Classical through Special Relativity. It covers each and every topic, in a clear, concise method that enhances learning and improves retention greatly in each and every area. It's a great reference to have on the shelf. EXCELLENT! My thanks to the authors. Your book has helped me much more than I ever expected.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful, recommend, January 17, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Solve Physics Problems (College Course) (Paperback)
this is a very good book except there are some mistakes(but the mistakes are easily found and corrected by yourself). This book gives you how to attack problems in a very organized manner even though the problems are not so difficult. I came to be able to solve more challenging problems in a different book after solving the easy but organized ones in this book. I recommend this book!

This review is from: How to Solve Physics Problems (College Course) (Paperback)
It is a very good book but it does not solve complicated problems.Furthermore,it has few mistakes(EX. Pages 88 and 94).In all honesty,it solves the most problems that you will encounter in the freshman physics courses.

4.0 out of 5 stars Buy this book as a supplement to your textbook, July 22, 2004
This review is from: How to Solve Physics Problems (College Course) (Paperback)
Other than a few typos, this book is awesome. I learn the basic concepts from this book, and then do the problems in my textbook. This book has helped me when my professor couldn't/wouldn't. You cannot learn physics from this book only, but it is an excellent addition to any textbook.

4.0 out of 5 stars typographical errors, March 7, 2000
This review is from: How to Solve Physics Problems (College Course) (Paperback)
it's a good book, it helped a great deal. I wish time was taken to correct typographical errors. I lost valuable time that could have been used to study.

4.0 out of 5 stars How To Solve Physics Problems Review, November 2, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: How to Solve Physics Problems (College Course) (Paperback)
The book is helpful even though the equations are set a little more complex than they have to be. And I deffinately wish there was a little bit more examples.
