Customer Review: I've used both Halliday and Giancoli, though the latter I used as a Freshman back in 2002 for first semester physics and the former I used as a post-bac student in 2006/07 when I completed the second semester. I do have to strongly disagree with previous reviewers that the problems are of a... more info
Customer Review: 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... more info
Customer Review: I just want all parents out there to understand that while "sexually experimenting with other boys" (chapter nine) may be "normal", it can also easily be considered a CRIME for which your son can be prosecuted. BE CAREFUL WITH THIS BOOK!!!!!!
Customer Review: Wow, what a great book. I had always heard how dry all the industry standard books were so I bought this one. It is a good value. I have a financial background and was able to read this entire book pretty fast. It is an easy read and borderline enjoyable believe it or not. Robert adds in plenty of... more info
Customer Review: ...but it's not a bad one. You should know, however, that many physics classes also require access to online homework and materials through WileyPlus; purchasing that access is $65 per book. Just another way for the textbook companies to screw the students. It's not really as if you're going to... more info
Customer Review: Halliday certainly does an excellent at making the student understand the basic and essential concepts of physics. His text is by far the most simple and best arranged compared to other authors such as Serway, and keeps the student motivated to learn further. I first opened this book at the... more info
Customer Review: well this is only the 2nd physics text book I've ever had and it is a pretty good book. I like how everything is summarized at the end of each chapter and how its pretty well organized. I cant really make a review of the actual content since I dont have much to compare to.
Customer Review: 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. This is a book that has aged gracefully. While the basic physics concepts were retained, the examples have been updated in each... more info
Customer Review: I wanted to write and thank Mr. Walker for writing this book. I worked in Healthcare IT and have a master's degree so I've taken lots of tests in my life .... the series 6 is the most difficult I've taken. However with Mr. Walker's material I passed the first time studying only 3 weeks and taking... more info
