What our customer's say!

"Oddly Addicting", I cannot say enough good things about this book! The size was intimidating at first, but don't be afraid! This book loves you and wants to help you. For me, there is no better way to learn physics than by going over problem after problem.

This book helps in a way a textbook only touches on: by showing you HOW to solve the problems. The questions at the end of the textbook chapter don't do that. And they also work a bit like a textbook in that some of the problems teach you key facts about a subject. This is great because rather than telling you these facts, like in a textbook, they show you.

The problems really become addicting. They make you feel so empowered and you really can tell you are learning. It actually makes you say, "oh, I'll do just one more!"

And I don't even really like physics.

"Not one of the better REA books", I was so excited when I got this book. It's not easy to find physics help books that cover calculus based problems. Most physics books seem to be focused on algebra/trig based physics. That's obviously because people who know calculus know everything and don't need any help in anything... yeah, right! Luckily Rea and a few (and I mean a FEW) others still have common sense and realized that calculus based physics students need help too. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this physics book. It sucks that I can't since there aren't that many calculus based physics books.

This book just has some major flaws (at least they're major flaws in my opinion). Just to get it out of my system, I must say that the type-set that Rea uses sucks. I know every Rea book uses the same type of typewriter font and all of their "Problem Solver" books look bland, but I don't know why this has to be. In fact, there's no good reason they can't make their books a little more aesthetically pleasing.

Anyway, the most annoying feature I have found about this book is that a good chunk of the problems don't use the SI system of units, which is the standard system for science courses (for those who don't know, the SI system of units is basically a modified metric system).

Often when I work problems, I have to do extra work simply converting the given information into the SI unit. And once I come to an answer, I can't just compare my answer to the one in the book. Instead, I have to convert my answer back into the English system which is a hassle. I just simply don't understand why a science text wouldn't use the SI system. I have never seen a physics book (or any science book for that matter) not use the SI system. And if it weren't bad enough that this book very often does not use the SI system, it actually uses a lot of units that aren't very commonly used.

A lot of the problems use "slugs" as a unit. Perhaps advanced physics students know off hand what a slug is, but me, I had to look it up online just to do an otherwise easy problem. It turned out that a slug was around 14.6 kg. Now how many people actually knew that?



"Amazing!", I'm very impressed; this book has loads of problems with which I can practise. It's simply the best physics problem book ever published!

"Completely Useless", I have attempted numerous times to use examples from this book as guidance when stuck on homework problems assigned in my engineering physics course and have found that the book offers nothing but further frustration. It's unorganized, the typeset is monotonous and appears as if someone typed the book on a typewriter making it difficult to focus and follow the text, and I have yet to find a worked example that has been of any use whatsoever in completing even one of my homework problems.
The book does offer a lengthy chart of conversion factors.

"Good Supplementary Practice, but that is it.", I am currently an engineering student, but I bought this book back in my highschool days for an AP Physics C class. I'd like to say that this book covers about every topic you can possibly imagine in physics at the introductory level. But even so, I'd rate it as just average. It may have some good interesting problems, but not many will find it worth the money. You may not even use more than a tenth of the book.

First of all, I dislike the layout of the book. The text is some courier font which makes it very difficult to read and thus difficult looking. The book is divided into chapters based on topic. The topics are pretty specific: Kinematics, Dynamics, Statics, etc. It starts out the chapter by 'trying' to teach you about that subject, but it fails entirely. The problems start out as easy as F = ma, but then suddenly jumps to extreme difficulty. I topped physics back in highschool and aced the APs, but I still found many of the problems extremely challenging. Just be warned that you had better be good in physics and also guessing as the solutions are also often anything but clear. It jumps around assuming you know whatever they are doing. Most of my friends who have borrowed the book have been unable to utilize it at all due to its difficulty.

In conclusion, if you are above average to excellent in physics, have nothing better to do, then you may want to just pick up this book as an extra supplement to challenge yourself or learn new methods in doing things. It maybe more useful in college where they split physics into more specific courses like dynamics, statics, electric circuits, etc. But by that time this book would be insufficient anyways. I just don't know what market the publishers were publishing for, as it is generally AP irrelevant, GCE irrelevant, and either too easy or too hard.
