I majored in physics and astronomy at the University of Iowa, where we used this textbook in our introductory courses. The book assumes knowledge of calculus, which is fitting since you can't really do physics without calculus. But I still use some of the problem sets selectively with my high school students (who haven't taken calculus).

My only compliant about this edition of the book is that it is only chapter 38-44. You need this supplement only if you bought the textbook without realizing that it was only chapters 1-37. I recommend the entire text in one book rather than two.… (mehr)
