Still alive and well Mar 31, 2006
By Ronaldo S. de Biasi
More than thirty years ago, when I was an engineering student, my physics "Bible" was Halliday & Resnick, Physics for Students of Science and Engineering, 1st Edition. This is a book that has aged gracefully. While the basic physics concepts were retained, the examples have been updated in each revision to keep up with the technology advances. Now in its seventh edition since Walker started to collaborate with the previous authors, it is still one of the most enjoyable readings in elementary physics. I recommend it without reservation.

Excellent for its target audience Dec 10, 2011
By Preferred Marketing Inc.
I am a math major who believes that Physics I and Calculus I should not be studied concurrently.
Physics is a difficult subject, despite those who would have you believe otherwise. Calculus is
the same. Every student should complete the first two semesters of Calculus and then begin a Calculus based Physics I course. With this mathematical foundation for Physics the student is in
a position to have a much easier time understanding Physics concepts at a much deeper level than
a Physics course where the mathematics level is Precalculus. I say this recognizing that I am
talking about two different target audiences. The Precalculus level Physics is fine for people
who are not majoring in Math, Physics, or Engineering. For those who are it is absolutely essential to have the Calculus foundation for Physics. This is true even though the authors do
a good job of introducing Calculus on a "how to" basis without theory and proofs.
Without reservation or qualification this is the best written Physics with Calculus textbook on
its level for its target audience - the Physics beginner. The prose is straightforward, clear,
concise and easy to read, The illustrative examples, problems, and questions are well thought
out and plentiful.
I will be buying the remaining volumes because I want the complete set.
To reiterate, this is a great textbook because it is truly directed at its target audience.
