Help my kid a lot. Thank you!

The Schaum’s Outline of College Physics was a recommended reading for the Physics I and Physics II courses at the local university. While the primary physics textbook analyzed each of the main topics/theories within physics, from Newton’s laws to thermodynamics, per the scope/requirements of the classes, there was a lack of practice problems, examples, and/or in-depth solutions provided for the purposes of practical application of the lessons taught. Comparatively, Schaum’s book, within each chapter, takes a look at the theory in question, provides the applicable equations and example problems with their solutions, and additional problems for you to attempt to solve without seeing the steps involved. I personally carried over this study plan, using a textbook and a supplemental practice book such as Schaum’s book, for my courses in statistics. Definitely a good, useful purchase for making it through college level physics.

I bought this because I have been struggling in my Physics w/ Calculus course at my university. Quite simply, after purchasing this guide and studying it for a good hour or two before the exam (I had neither gone to class recently nor done the homework for weeks) my grade on the test was the avg grade for the class: 74%. I am fairly convinced that without this guide I would have failed miserably. The examples in the book are extremely helpful and correlate almost exactly to the examples that my teacher routinely uses and draws upon. Without a doubt, for the current price you cannot beat this deal. The increase in productivity is amazing compared to simply studying a standard textbook.

Basic outline of college physics. The cover says what this book is. Very easy top understand and follow. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for something basic and not to overwhelming to learn college level physics concepts.

This is a great practice-problem book to supplement your class work. I would not recommend it if you are not taking or have not taken a class previously. I give it four stars rather than five because I personally found that some solutions could have used a wee bit more explanation.
