Customer Reviews

Good Physics Resource

Have used to help communicate messages and problems to kids in school. Well outlined and has data needed. Added with other sources, provides kids with solid understanding of physics applications.

A very good book

This book is a very book for beginners or for reviewing if you forgot physics. It explains very good. I really recommend it.

I liked it

I personally liked this book, and will use in the future with my children. But when I bought it I did not realize it was high school physics and we are not there yet. I would not recommend this for someone until they learn the math first. I would not recommend using this book to teach the math, it would be better for extra practice, or to break down and develop a better understanding of physics.

Physics book review

This is a good review of the basics of physics. I'm also reading the Chemistry, Biology, and Calculus versions of this series. They all seem pretty good so far.

Well-written and Useful Introduction/Review of Physics

One of the reasons I bought this physics study aid was because I read Mr. Curran's "Homework Helpers-Chemistry" and found it to be an excellent help in my pursuit to learn Chemistry. The author once again has hit a homerun with his physics book. Concepts from the classical areas of physics (Newtonian mechanics, electricity, magnetism, light, thermodynamics)covered in a first-year course in high school or college are explained in a conversational style while retaining appropriate rigor. The chapter tests are well-written (with the answers to test questions explained), and the interspersed diagrams help to reinforce topics covered in each chapter. I'm glad I came across both of these books.
