Review: Having picked up a Physics with Calculus class roughly three years after I took Physics in high school, I was surprised to discover how well this book describes many of the basic concepts. It manages to not only remind you of what you already know, but also bolsters that knowledge with new information.

However, considering that the course is highly math-oriented, one would think that the word problems would be a little easier to comprehend. I'm not asking to be handed everything on a silver platter, but I would hope that when a text book asks you how long it takes a train to get past a certain point they would specify whether they mean how long it takes the length of the train to go past that point or how long it takes to get past it from where the train currently is.

That may not make sense, but then that just means you understand my issue with the problems given. Many times you spend longer trying to figure out what information they want rather than working the problem. It's disappointing that a solutions manual is not available to students--such manuals can be a lot of help in discovering whether your calculation was wrong or you simply misunderstood what the problem was asking for.
