I found this book to be a great refresher. It is not mathematically intense and instead focuses mainly on theory. There is not a very heavy reliance on Calculus, but it is often implied by talking about areas and changes instead of integrals and derivatives. So if you're in a Calc-based physics class, you can still get the basics down.My only criticism is that there are very few sample problems and no problems at the end of chapters. That keeps the book from being a 5 star in my opinion..
