Introductory Physics with Calculus as a Second Language: Mastering Problem-Solving

I've had a tough time trying to make use out of the heavy textbooks and workbook problems that never seemed to help. The amazing thing with this book is that it keeps it on a simple level and breaks every concept down. It teaches you to recognize certain problems instead of trying to pull your hair out with an ugly set of data. I know there are others out there trying to solve the physics crisis but this is the tool for the job. Sure I will use the heavy text for reference but when it comes to solving actual problems this book is the one. It has equations that are not as complicated as the textbook ones and tells you which ones to use where and in what case. From the early kinematics to mixed circuits this book does it all. I would have to say that it is worth it's weight in gold, to be honest.

I have looked for a book on physics with calculus and found a great shortage of them. There are alot of College Physics supplmental books but very few University Physics ones. Having used the series for Organic Chemistry I would reccoment the series.

Although I suspect the 5 star review is by someone with the company, this book is actually pretty good. Each chapter covers some of the more common problems you will come across along with some very good diagrams. The visual component of this book is one of its strengths. It is by no means a comprehensive book and I'm sure there are more challenging problems out there. Overall it does a nice job of focusing on what you need to know. That being said I think it was a little over priced. The book is pretty small and it doesn't cover topics like fluids or harmonic motion. If it was 15-20 I would give it 5 stars.
