College student happy

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. This is a book that has aged gracefully. While the basic physics concepts were retained, the examples have been updated in each revision to keep up with the technology advances. Now in its eighth edition since Walker started to collaborate with the previous authors, it is still one of the most enjoyable readings in elementary physics. I recommend it without reservation.

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!!
