This book seems to get a bad rap(wrap?) on sites so I felt I should do a review of it. I bought it as a companion to physics for scientists and engineers. Physics for scientists and engineers is very technical and can get very boring fast; EZ physics progressed in the same order as my text so that was very helpful. Sure, the example problems aren't anything test/quiz like, but they are good for refreshing. The text is also very simple to read and worded in a "layman's" form. All in all this book helped me get a B in calc based physics with no prior physics courses or calc courses in my life, so I'd say its decent. 4 stars because it is not perfect, if I could give it something along the lines of 4 and 1/3 stars I would.

I bought this book for a Physics class. I had high hopes for this book. Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed. The book doesn't clearly explain a thing. Formulas are very confusing and it doesn't give enough examples for each problem. I've even found typos and incorrect answers in the back of the book. Overall, the book would be a decent supplement to a regular physics textbook. However, if you are using this book as your sole source for learning physics you will have to find other online sources (or books) to help clearly explain concepts.

THIS BOOK IS GREAT, OH MY GOD!!! I BOUGHT IT ONLY DAYS AGO AND I'LL TELL YOU IS WONDERFUL,IT IS ALSO FULL WITH SO MUCH BASIC INFORMATION, IF YOU NEED IT DON'T THINK TWICE ABOUT IT YOU'LL LOVE IT.
