Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Each chapter starts with a two or three page review of the relevant physics. There are many detailed examples neatly worked out. Then there are numerous exercises, often with good real-world relevance. This is not a revolutionary book, but I strongly recommend it to physics teachers and students alike. It is a good supplement for any algebra-based physics course. A teacher's edition is also available.
