Book Review: Finally, Some Real Help.
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok, I know a there are a few people who gave this book a bad review because it doesn't "teach you" how to think for yourself, but rather is an outline you can copy from. I beg to differ.
First off, this my second time taking calculus based college physics 1....why you may ask?...I don't study?...read the book?...pay attention to lecture? WRONG. I think I'm in a common situation where you take a course in college and its one of those "its what you make of it" classes. That is all fine and dandy as long as you have something to "make it" with such as with a helpful text and/or a helpful prof/lecturer. My first time I had this class I had neither. My text gave lame examples with little explained...and the lecture examples were even lamer. No force diagrams, no explanation on steps or even notifying skipped steps. I basically went to the lecture to learn F=MA, if you have X-newtons acting on Y-kilgrams...what is A? Wow, spectacular lesson learned there. No more detail than that.
So, I searched for help. I have 3 texts...all were horrendous renditions of eachother. I bought several "physics explained" books to find no more that cliff's notes on lame text books. One more shot I said to myself...if I can't learn it then I might as well try to "copy" it with 3,000 problems solved right? This book is more complete than any text I've looked at, with the exception of the college text I used in highschool, and is unfortunately out of print as its well over thirty years old.
This book has force diagrams, plenty of scenarios of a simpler to more advanced renditions of problems helping you to solve what it is you need to solve. Is that so bad? It can be if you do not take to heart the lessons being applied. But ask yourself, how did you learn math at all? Did you fully understand it the first time you saw it? For most of you out there, it took repitition after repetition until it clicked and you knew what to do by heart. You had examples in a text or lecture notes that provided the basic lesson on to the most complex scenario you can apply it to. That's what this book does for physics.
I give 3,000 physics problems solved more than kudos or two thumbs up. If you are stuggling w/ college physics I highly reccomend this book for you. It will help you understand where to start and how to attack problems better than mosts texts. Give it a try, $20 is nothing compared to a non-passing grade and a semester down the tube.
