<p>Im having some minor trouble in Calc Based physics this semester. Can anybody recommend a really good self help Physics book that can help me.</p>
<p>I bought physics for dummies, as calc for dummies really helped me, but the physics one sucks, to many typos and math errors.</p>
<p>can anybody recommend, a good book.</p>
<p>I've yet to find a good physics book--never really understood the stuff. And that sounds really bad as somehow I got through Physics in high school and 4 semesters of college physics with Bs. Hmm. Good luck! I'd ask your classmates or professor. Maybe if you go to your professor's office you'll see other books lying around and can look them up in the bookstore or online, or even better, ask your professor directly for help to show interest. The Schaum's outlines book for Calc is pretty good--you can check into their physics. (Amazon reviews?)</p>
<p>Halliday-Resnick-Walker (spelling might be off on those...) produce the best intro texts I've seen so far, so if you can scrounge up an older edition of those on Amazon for cheap it'd be a good investment.</p>
<p>thats the book I have for Physics class</p>
<p>I think it sucks, way to brief.</p>
<p>Halliday-Resnick-Walker physics contributed to the mass failing of the Spring '06 Physics w/ Calc. 1 class at UF; I can attest to their worthelessness.</p>
<p>I found Halliday-Resnick-Walker to be a fine text in my AP physics class last year, but it's possible that the book works better for those who are more naturally inclined toward physics. Unfortunately, I have no advice as to a good physics help text.</p>
<p>If your textbook has a workbook or solutions manual that you can buy, that's what helped me most. Mine had a solutions manual that worked probably about twenty to thirty problems from the back of the chapter, and seeing the math actually done was and then trying to figure out why it was done the way it was was really, really helpful.</p>
