5.0 out of 5 stars BUY THIS BOOK!!!!, 6 Feb 2007

By	E. Culligan "ell" (London, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Physics for Scientists and Engineers: Extended Version (Hardcover)

Tipler is excellent!!! - If you're doing 1st year physics this book is an essential buy!

It takes you though the key concepts of each topic and tells you everything you need to know, the examples are clear and written in simple, plain English.

It's especially usefully when you've forgotten something really simple and all your other books assume you already know it. Tipler tells you everything!!

3.0 out of 5 stars A good introductory book but no advanced material, 12 Nov 2002

By	Karura (Kent) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Physics for Scientists and Engineers: Chapters 1-42 Extended Version (Hardcover)

This book is a good introduction to a variety of physics topics; all of the basics are laid out clearly with simple examples for clarification. If you're doing A-Levels or just starting your degree, you'll find this book provides a good introduction to physics without being too daunting or mathematically intense.
Unfortunately, its usefulness is short-lived as there is no advanced material or guidance for solving harder problems. Certainly, whilst this book was a great help to me last year, now that I'm in the second year of my degree I'm finding that it falls far short of what I need.

5.0 out of 5 stars physics freshers bible, 21 Dec 2003

By	"kirstyyeomans" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Physics for Scientists and Engineers: Extended Version (Hardcover)

If you are taking 1st year physics, you will do well to survive without this. Covers all of the material needed for the course with clear examples and the english is surprisingly good for a scientific book!
