I thought that this book was going to have the solutions to all the questions from the physics book, but it is only the solutions manual to the questions from the answers that are already in the back of the book.

This is a good study guide. It gives the actual working solutions to the problems. The only reason I did not give it a five is that it only has a selected number of problems instead of them all. The ones it has are explained quite well. If your professor dosen't give you a solution then this is the next best thing to get a answer.

Amazon has a wonderful service. Fast shipping , fast delivery even though I selected standart shipping. The book is brand new as advertised. But it's not very helpful. The author may have some master degrees so his solutions are usually complicated and hard to follow :) Most of the time, I just use it to check the answers.

I bought this book when I took University Physics. I found the book helpful. It shows you how to approach the problem, how to execute, how to verify, and how to evaluate. I found it far more helpful than the lecture in learning the concepts and equations. I just wish it answered all the questions. I'd like to know the solutions to all the problems. I also recommend, '3000 Physics Problems Solved' by Alvin Halpern, but this book is more helpful if your college professor assigns it.

I ordered this book for my daughter for her college course. I looked it up using the ISBN number. It looks like the same book in the pic, but the ISBN number on the cover is different. It also included the "mastering physics student access kit" which is necessary for registering for the online materials that go along with this course. It was shrink wrapped so I know it was new and unused, but the access code inside did not work. When we tried to enter the code at the site, it said the code was expired. My daughter was told she could pay another $55 to get an unexpired code! I ended up having to call the book company. At first I was told the code was expired and I'd have to return the book to Amazon and get a one with a new unexpired code! Of course I told them that was totally ridiculous, so after talking to about 4 different representatives someone reactivated our code so it would work.

Solutions manual help students understand, and go faster with any course. That is my experience, and a beautiful one.

If a manual brings all the details on solving the problems, it does the job. This manual explains them very well.

I had a CALCULUS text book and its solutions manual. It helped me a lot!!!
The manual had, at least, ALL the odd number problems with the explanations and solutions to them.

I did not need to stare at a problem for like 20 minutes in order to get the answer. If a problem takes too long, look at the manual!!

With my experience, as a college student and professor, you really can't afford to waste too much time with that ONE subject, you need to move on in order to study for the other courses enrolled.

Solutions Manuals are just as valuable as the text book.

This manual brings SOME of the ODD numbers explained. Not good!!
Thats why I gave it 3 stars only.

I would pay for any solutions manual as much for what I payed for the text book.

This physics TEXT book is great I recomend it.

I recomend this SOLUTIONS MANUAL because its the only one for this text.

I bought this when I was talking the second course in the physics series, so these comments refer to the chapters of the book referring to electricity and magnetism. I felt like the solutions manual was not helpful in any way. In addition to not having all of the answers (it seems to skip around, answering only those questions that it wants to), it also skips steps here and there, which is enough to make it difficult to keep up. I found looking up the answers online more useful than using this book.
