Fundamentals of Physics

Posted on - 29 May 2007 15:37:13 IST

Engineering Entrance ,
Author(s)

David Halliday, Robert Resnick, Jearl Walker

Publisher

Wiley

Summary

No other text on the market today can match the success of Halliday, Resnick and Walker's Fundamentals of Physics. This text continues to outperform the competition year after year, and the new edition will be no exception. Intended for Calculus-based Physics courses, the Sixth Edition of this extraordinary text is a major redesign of the best-selling Fifth Edition, which still maintains many of the elements that led to its enormous success. Jearl Walker adds his unique style to this edition with the addition of new problems designed to capture, and keep, students' attention. Nearly all changes are based on suggestions from instructors and students using the Fifth Edition, from reviewer comments, and from research done on the process of learning. The primary goal of this text is to provide students with a solid understanding of fundamental physics concepts, and to help them apply this conceptual understanding to quantitative problem solving.

i love this book....................i do agree that it is slow paced..........but it lets you develop a love for physics through its life oriented realistic problems..........each chapter starts with an interesting photograph acompanied fact and a question related to it which will be answered at the end of the chapter

This Book is very best in building concepts. Questions are good just level 3 ques. are less. For L3 questions we can buy other question bank books like Arihant etc..

The Guy Rahul Pawar is correct.It's the best book after Fenyman's lectures, a good command over theory and concepts is always required.This will make ur concepts lucid.Its necessity.
