<p>I've decided to take physics b during the year. I've heard its a very challenging class so I plan to start studying by myself beefore I take the class. Which textbooks do you recommend?
Theres a big list in hippocampus.org and these are the ones I keep hearing about.</p>

<p>college physics wilson buffa
college physics serway,faughn,bennet,vuille
conceptual physics hewitt
fundamentals of physics halliday,resnick,walker
physics: principles with applications giancoli
sears and zemansky's university physics young freeman</p>

<p>Any help is much appreciated</p>

<p>I’m taking the hippocampus course as well. I just purchased this. I got it for $10 used but it has never been opened (it is a $150 textbook). It looks like a great textbook. I haven’t used it yet, so I can’t offer too much help.</p>

<p>[Amazon.com:</a> Physics (9780470223550): John D. Cutnell, Kenneth W. Johnson: Books](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Physics-John-D-Cutnell/dp/0470223553/ref=dp_ob_title_bk]Amazon.com:”>http://www.amazon.com/Physics-John-D-Cutnell/dp/0470223553/ref=dp_ob_title_bk)</p>

<p>halladay and resnick use calc… if you don’t know it stay away from it</p>

<p>Im taking calc this year and am having no trouble. I don’t think Physics B uses calculus, but would the halladay and resnick prepare me as well as the Cutnell and Johnson one? The latter is really expensive, 60 for a used one on amazon. I think my school uses the halladay and resnick one for physics c too.</p>
