Ein zweibandiger Klassiker unter den Physiklehrbuchern und zweifellos eines der umfassendsten und ausfuhrlichsten Werke seiner Art! Auch diese 5. Auflage bemuht sich besonders um eine klare, einleuchtende Darstellung der Grundgedanken, gestutzt auf neueste Erkenntnisse der Physikdidaktik. Die Kapitel zur Thermodynamik und zur Quantentheorie wurden durchgangig aktualisiert; alle Ubungsaufgaben wurden uberarbeitet, neue Aufgaben sind hinzugekommen. Erweitert wurde auch der Erganzungsband.
Pretty decent.
| Customer Rating: | | The questions are decent, the book is clear, and there aren't too many colors (which i found is good because i could focus for a longer period of time). Uses many examples which i found useful. Overall a great book. |
Probably the best book for introductory physics
| Customer Rating: | | I used this book for my intro to Electricity and Magnetism and for my Intro to Modern Physics - Light, optics, atomic and nuclear physics, quantum mechanics. It has plenty of theory in it in that often the book doesn't just present you equations, but derives them. Of course this isn't always the case as the math in this book doesn't go beyond Calc II and some basic, easy stuff from Calc III. Not only the theory, but it includes plenty of decent historical experimental results to explain how the laws come about. Also, the optional sections are decent as well. I especially liked the optional section regarding electromagnetism and frames of reference. The book also comes with alot of exercises, about half of which are just plug-and chug problems that waste time. But the others require you to know your concepts or to really think. Most of the Problems are decent and require thinking. However, some times the book can get too wordy. Also, the section on quantum mechanics isn't great, but you can't blame this book because quantum mechanics is best described using mathematics including linear algebra and beyond. This book is far better than the one by Serway as this book goes into more detail and offers better explanations and has better Problems. |
The book that ought to be used
| Customer Rating: | | The best thing to happen to introductory Physics probabaly since Feynman lectures, the book relies on students thinking out concepts not just commiting formulae to memory. This book is best used by working out everything in detail and solving all the questions if not all the problems. |
Excellent reference book for introductory physics courses
| Customer Rating: | Being a freshmen of physics major in the first year of my university life, I engaged in three introductory physics courses, namely, mechanics, thermodynamics and optics, and electricity and magnetism. It was a surprise to me that all three courses recommended "Physics" by Resnick and Halliday as textbook. After one year of study, I found reading this book awarding and useful for my later and more in-depth studies. Although I didn't read the part on quantum physics and relativity, I'll give my comment on this book based on what I've read.
The book was written in an comprehensive way. No matter you 're a newcomer to physics or you already have some basis on general physics, the writers always give a careful and detailed desription on how they arrive at the results, and what assumptions they've made, so that you'll get a correct picture and understanding of the topic. Unlike some other textbooks, this book functions as a bridge for me to the more advanced physics courses, without much difficulties arised.
To improve the text, my idea is to introduce vector calculus in the E&M part, since it's essential for further studies on the topic. |
Great Book!
| Customer Rating: | | Although i havn't yet finished this book...im half way through it...it is a relativly easy to understand book... |
