Physics book

<p>Hi!
I'm looking for a physics book that would allow me to self-study the course. I'm enrolled in physics class, but it's not going very well, so I'd like to study it on my own in addition to remaining in the class. I'd really like a book that includes formulas and math, since that's a part of our class, and this is for regular physics, not AP (though a book that could help me prepare for the AP exam would be great!)</p>

<p>Thanks for any help! :)</p>

<p>EXCELLENT EXCELLENT book is the one by Jay A. Wile, Exploring Creation with Physics. Explains things very well, and it's specifially designed for homestudy. He either reviews the math needed or explains what math is needed so that you can look it up.</p>

<p>In which AP physics course are you interested: AP Physics B, AP Physics Mechanics, or AP Physics Electricity and Magnetism?</p>

<p>Halliday and Resnick - Fundamental of Physics</p>

<p>Serway and faughn - no clue about title</p>

<p>Giancoli - Physics</p>

<p>Get Dr. Jay Wile's 'Exploring Creation with Physics' and/or 'Advanced Physics in Creation'.</p>

<p>As mentioned above he explains things very nicely. The Advanced book is supposed to be at AP standard.</p>

<p>And, I forgot to mention, Dr. Wile has free help for users of his books via mail, email, fax or phone. Its usually within 24hrs.</p>

<p>SR6622 lists the 3 most common ones for college physics for science and engineering majors. They all presume at least co-registration in calculus. If you don't have want a calculus based text (ie, you're only thinking of preparing for physics B), try Hewitt's Conceptual Physics.</p>
