Great book, from an Electrical Engineering major...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
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.
Wiley Publishing produces great indroductory physics book

What really makes this book great is the layout and format used. With clearly indexed chapters, main in-chapter headlins, practice problems, free interactive learning on the internet, and end of chapter synopsis, this book can explain physics to anyone interested. Physics is a science that needs to be understood correctly the first time. I really would have liked this book in high school. The end of chapter problems are very difficult, but they require you to really understand the material. the writing style used is similar to the times you read those great articles and say to yourself, "why can't everything be that clear." Great for physics majors, and good for other majors. 5 Stars
A very interested book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I have strongly recomended this book especially the sixth edition. The book contains many chapters which collect and deal with roughly all directions of the nature (life) and illustrate each subject and element with very good sequencely steps and support it with sample problems arranged from lower to a higher level. There are many and many problems at the end of each chapter. The book is so great and the authers are cleavers. I hope the next edition be more funtastic and having a lot of extended materials. Good Luck

I was in ap Physics C and I used Serway's book. That book was alright, and i got used to it. I also studied with Giancoli, Princeton Review, and Conceptual Physics. And about 3 weeks before the ap test, my teacher let me borrow his new Halliday book. This book really cleared up several concepts in mechanics. I went over a chapter every 2-3 days as my review. I don't know how the e/m section of the book is but I will be using Halliday for the fall E/m class. Either way, I think Halliday does a good job explaining concepts in Mechanics. I ended up getting a 5 on the test!
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
