Saved my Bacon 
I attend an ivy league school, and the physics textbook for physics I and II is incredibly difficult. Last semester I spent almost a thousand dollars on a tutor to get me through physics I because the 150+ person lectures didn't help, and the textbook only made me "dumber". For physics II this semester, I ordered this book hoping that the summary and problems might help - I felt I didn't have much to lose since the book costs the equivalent of 15 minutes worth of tutoring. I used this book almost... more info

Engineering Physics I & II level coverage
This book is fantastic for either supplementary study or serving as stand-alone text. All of the Phys I chapter content found in most other texts will be presented in depth and in concert; typical layout is anywhere from 6-10 pgs of theory and subject explanation, followed by 5-15 pgs of fully solved, worked out problems. The step-by-step nature of the problems is amazing and helped me get an A in both Phys I & II moreso than attending lecture - which was a rarity some weeks. The progression is:... more info

Essential for success in college freshman physics
Many freshman college physics textbooks are just awful. They often go on and on about what is obvious and gloss over the finer points...and of course there are no examples. This is where this book comes in. As in all Schaum's outlines, for each topic there are a few pages of theory including equations, then some problems with the solutions worked out extensively, and then finally some problems with the answers but no extensive solution. The format of the outline is the same that you should expect in any two... more info

A VENERABLE BOOK WITHOUT CALCULUS
Since 1936 a very nice supplement for Advanced High Scool or "without calculus" two semester college physics. Since there is no deductions it can be hardly used as a textbook. Not even
v^2=(v_0)^2+2ax or 1/R=1/R_1+1/R_2 ..., etc, (that don't need calculus) are deduced.
A telescope is described in one and a half line and there is a Spetial relativity chapter but there are no Maxwell's equations. It is a very nice book! But if you want deductions or
calculus or if you are chemistry, math... more info
