Editorial Review: Product Description: Comprehensive problems for topics covered by Physics I to IV, including statics, dynamics, heat, electricity and magnetism, wave motion, acoustics, optics, and atomic and nuclear physics. Numerous pictorial diagrams are included with complete illustrative explanations. Problem-solving strategies are included at the beginning of every chapter for each topic covered. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Oddly AddictingI cannot say enough good things about this book! The size was intimidating at first, but don't be afraid! This book loves you and wants to help you. For me, there is no better way to learn physics than by going over problem after problem. This book helps in a way a textbook only touches on: by showing you HOW to solve the problems. The questions at the end of the textbook chapter don't do that. And they also work a bit like a textbook in that some of the problems teach you key ... Read More Rating:  - Not one of the better REA booksI was so excited when I got this book. It's not easy to find physics help books that cover calculus based problems. Most physics books seem to be focused on algebra/trig based physics. That's obviously because people who know calculus know everything and don't need any help in anything... yeah, right! Luckily Rea and a few (and I mean a FEW) others still have common sense and realized that calculus based physics students need help too. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this physics book. It sucks ... Read More Rating: - Amazing!I'm very impressed; this book has loads of problems with which I can practise. It's simply the best physics problem book ever published! Rating:  - Completely UselessI have attempted numerous times to use examples from this book as guidance when stuck on homework problems assigned in my engineering physics course and have found that the book offers nothing but further frustration. It's unorganized, the typeset is monotonous and appears as if someone typed the book on a typewriter making it difficult to focus and follow the text, and I have yet to find a worked example that has been of any use whatsoever in completing even one of my homework problems. The book ... Read More Rating:  - Good Supplementary Practice, but that is it.I am currently an engineering student, but I bought this book back in my highschool days for an AP Physics C class. I'd like to say that this book covers about every topic you can possibly imagine in physics at the introductory level. But even so, I'd rate it as just average. It may have some good interesting problems, but not many will find it worth the money. You may not even use more than a tenth of the book. First of all, I dislike the layout of the book. The text is some courier font which ... Read More
