Customer Reviews

The title is a bit misleading

This book specifically covers most of what you would learn in a two semester college freshman level engineering physics sequence, with a little modern physics and even some astronomy thrown in. There are plenty of examples and explanations, and if you buy it you'll get your money's worth if freshman physics is what you wish to review or study. However, I think Schaum's Outline of College Physics, 10th edition (Schaum's Outlines) is a better bet. It is more thorough in its coverage, and there are more problems but not quite as much explanation. For example, I don't think that this book gives nearly enough coverage of mechanics, fluids, and in particular optics, that it is really complete. Schaum's covers these subjects extensively, mainly through problems sets rather than prose, though. If you are just learning physics, get both books. If it is a review or reference you need, go strictly with Schaum's.

Trying to review college physics

It's a decent book. It's not to basic, but it does skip over anything thta requires advanced calculus. If you do the quizzes and try not to memorize answers, but actually work the problems, you should be able to retain and understand the information.
