A Book For The Student

This is the best written physics textbook for an introductory physics course at its mathematical level (precalculus) that I have ever seen. The author knows his audience and stays within their level without "dumbing down" the exposition of the subject.The explanations of physics principles and the worked out examples have a clarity unmatched in any textbook I have ever seen. Paul Urone distinguishes himself from other authors by asking and answering the questions that first year physics can't ask because the depth of their knowledge is not great enough yet.Peter Urone owes the world one more textbook on first year Physics; this one must include calculus. Without doubt, it will beas effective for its audience as his "College Physics" with themathematics at the precalculus level.Finally, no matter what textbook you are using, buy this book asa companion.

College physics

This is truly one of the most student-friendly Physics textbooks that I have come across. The problems covered are well explained and there are plenty of examples, with references to real life, that help make Physics easy to understand. It covers all the necessary information needed to have you well prepared for the MCAT, or any other science test that requires Physics. Highly recommended!

Thanks for simplifying Physics

This is an excellent textbook. This book is easier to understand than my current textbook. I highly recommend it for everyone. My advisor is trying to obtain a copy for the LRC that he is building
