<p>Which algebra-based physics textbooks are good? Based on this [url=<a href="http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/ap/sub_physb.html?physicsb%5Dlist%5B/url">http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/ap/sub_physb.html?physicsb]list[/url</a>] and Amazon, the top contenders seem to be Cutnell and Giancoli. Could you recommend an introductory algebra-based physics textbook? Thanks.</p>
<p>Our school uses Giancoli for AP Physics B. It definitely goes over topics you won’t need for the exam, but on the whole it’s rather good.</p>
