A lot to offer for different learning styles.:
A good textbook. It has different types of examples and pictures for different types of learners.
Worst text book ever:
This is without a doubt the worst text book I have ever had to use. Often times when you take 100 level classes you have not been exposed to alot of text books, so one book is as good as any other. But seriously, this book sucks. When doing kinematics I copied the problems out of the book and then used my Statics/Dynamics book (Applied Mechanics Engineering Technology 8th ed.) to solve them. When i was doing pressure and gas problems I used my old chemistry book(Chemistry: The Molecular Science) to... more info
Perfect Pysics Book:
The perfect book to study physics. Many pictures and great problems. It applies physics to everyday life and makes physics very interesting. A great book for all levels of study: high school, college, university, grad school, etc.
Learn to Run Before You Can Walk with Giancoli's "Physics" . . .:
While I wouldn't call this a bad book, I find myself rather frustrated with it. It seems to me to be most ideally suited for those who either have a natural inclination for physics or those who have plenty of spare time in which to contemplate solutions for the problems. (Unfortunately, I have neither.) The chapters themselves are actually fairly well done, but, in my opinion, not well enough to provide all the necessary information and insights to successfully solve the problems. I've opted to discontinue... more info
