Sears and Zemansky's University Physics (10th Edition)

Rating:
Summary: horrible
Review: This is definetely one of the worst physics books I have seen. They neither really incorporate the math as if they are afraid people will be frightened and then when they do, it is REALLY hard to follow. Explanations are really, really bad, each topic is about 30 pages long, but the essence of a concept is never elucidated. You learn how to solve THEIR problems, but you never quite understand what is really going on. Unfortunately, I HAD to buy this book for a class.

Summary: Horrible Physics Book
Review: This is the worst textbook I have ever read. The book does not prepare you to do a lot of the problems at the end of each chapter. There are some problems that take hours to complete, even though they should really only take a few minutes, simply because the book does not prepare you for certain types of problems. A word of advice to the authors: stay in the lab, stick to research, because you obviously have no idea how to educate students.
