• Treatsie - WORTHLESS for learning
  This remains one of the most WORTHLESS technical texts I've ever run into - going back to at least the Second Edition of 1981. As a stand-alone, the text provides a survey of basic concepts in mechanics, wave theory, thermodynamics and electrodynamics. The example problems are pathetic and reflect a dismissive attitude towards the average undergraduate student who needs to learn how to APPLY the various physical laws to solve problems. Unless you have an excellent instructor who supplements heavily with... more info

• Still alive and well
  More than thirty years ago, when I was an engineering student, my physics "Bible" was Halliday & Resnick, Physics for Students of Science and Engineering, 1st Edition.

• Thorough Enough For Any Cinic!
  I found this book to be a little on the complex end of the fundamental physics forum but it was certainly manageable and I think it is apt at the task of boosting a diligent students confidence level. I recommend this book to any program advisor who is in the market for a challenging but realistic text.

• If you want to stay awake while reading Physics...use this book!!
  This is the first Physics book that I have read and been able to understand, while staying awake!! This book is not at all boring and the author has a way of making sense out of difficult subject matter. It also helps to use the Wiley Plus for this book. I think it would be more beneficial to students if more schools used this book. I highly suggest buying this book!!
