College Physics, Vol. 2
"I find Serway and Faughn reads the best for students and looks( no kidding, it's important) the best. I like the Quick Quizzes. When I taught this course with previous editions, I almost never used any Conceptual questions because of the difficulty for the students to get much feedback. 'This was mainly because of the large class size, the wide variation of student ability, and the lack of answers for the students. 'With the answers to these questions in the back, that changes my position on this.""Overall, I like the book. 'It is colorful, rich, mature, and reliable.' There are a wide variety of resources available to the students.""I was very happy to find both Newton's Law of Gravitation, and the formula for the period of a simple pendulum, both appearing in this chapter. By and large, I think the presentation in this book of the notions of velocity and acceleration to be quite successful.""Your book gives great examples. Would offer no changes to that! The organization of SandF reflects the fact that the authors are (of necessity) physicists; what I mean by this is that the order in which mechanics is presented reflects the way a physicist would think. My opinion remains the same; it is one of the best textbooks at this level.""The treatment of friction is excellent."--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
