Fundamentals of Physics, Part 3, Chapters 22-33

by David Halliday, Jearl Walker, Robert Resnick, et al.

Book Overview

Part 3 of the fifth edition of this introduction to physics. This text addresses the issue of building bridges of reason, so that students may move from qualitative understanding of any given physics concept to making decisions about how to solve a problem involving that concept.

What I needed... fast!

I needed to get this book for my college Physics class. The seller had a great price and a very speedy delivery. The book's condition was excellent as well. Very good service! Thankyou!

just needed for school, works find

hmm, i used this for school, haven't read too much from it, but the hi-points covered in the material were explained well, since i have never taken a physics course before it was helpful.

Great book, from an Electrical Engineering major...

This is a good book, especially if you're mechanics course used parts 1 and 2 of this same series. The thing that I like about this book is that it doesn't depend on a complete knowledge of surface or line integrals, just a basic understanding of them and how to apply simple geometric cases for math simplicity. I haven't had to look elsewhere for any supplemental material on this subject with this book, and I feel confident going into a Circuit Analysis class with what I've learned.

Good examples to explain the concepts

I used this book for my general physics course in USA. Since my native language is not English, I had to spend a lot of time to read through this book. But, compared to other textbooks, this book makes it easy to read even for a student like me who has language problem. The reason is that this book explains the concepts in clear manner and gives us further understanding by the immediate sample problems. I found this very refreshing. I can immediately check my understanding and never get bored in this way. I know other books that just explain the concepts for pages and pages...until I forget what I started with and fall asleep. Their end chapter problems are very good. many of them are interesting to solve.

Clear and Thoughtful

This book covers all of basic physics very well. The prose is clear and the problem sets incredibly thorough. Problems vary from being a simple extension to what is described in the chapter to some extremely challenging problems that require some original thinking. Not an easy read at all points but completely worth it
