    The only full physics textbook that's better is the one by Freedman. This book is concise, but not in a classic 1930's Dover book on physics concise, there's more explanation. The explanations are all useful and are not overly complicated.

    This book works well if you already know how to read science and mathematics textbooks. I'll admit when I first took physics using this book I hated it. But now that I have more experience with mathematics I enjoy it (notice I don't say physics).

    My advice to anyone reading STEM books is to read the chapter once, and then read it again and take notes over explanations, derivations (which may not seem important at first), and examples.

    The only things I'd like to see in subsequent editions are one more example on average per section and a little more explanation on derivations. Great book overall.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good Physics Introduction
    Reviewed in the United States on 5 April 2012
    Verified Purchase
    This is a solid and above average textbook. I think people are getting confused. They see that the book is short and terse and think that it "lacks depth." Actually, the idea behind the book is to focus on people understanding the ideas instead of losing that by doing too much math. There is not too much tricky math or too much calculus here. I think in intro physics you learn from newton mechanics, torque, to optics and gases and magnetism there is so much to learn it is impossible to ask a student to learn all of this while doing crazy calculus on it too. The depth is there, some of the math isn't, which is a good thing there is so much to learn in physics we can focus on the right stuff with this book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars More Practice, Less Reading
    Reviewed in the United States on 28 February 2012

    This book provides a great way to learn basic physics without getting into conceptual topics (which are usually discussion topics in class anyway). Instead it provides a lot more examples (in ratio) than a usual textbook would provide which is a lot more beneficial and saves time from reading something that I would've brisked over anyway.
