Fundamentals of Physics

Excellent textbook all around starting from most fundamental principles. Ideal for a first year undergraduate; just what you would expect expect from Halliday and Resnick.

Fantastic suplimentary reading for undergraduate physics course or preparation for one, with lots of helpful examples and questions to try for yourself.

AS described, fast delivery worked well

This book is very useful for first and second year physics students. It will cover pretty much any topic you are set to learn in your first few years with a helpful breakdown of topics. there are questions to be answered and an answer book is available seperately. I am in my third year and although the book is not a reccomended read I still use it to reinforce my knowledge of electromagnetism, quantum mechanics and thermal physcs (although thermal is no too well covered in here). Diagrams, worked examples and good explainations make this an invaluable text book for early years and a great reference for later years. Be warneed the book is very arge with lots of work in it and you will not need it all so be prepared to only use part of the book!

This is the book that got me through A Level Physics in the early 80s.

In my opinion this is one of the finest physics textbooks available. I have an old 2 vol P/B set I bought at college, well thumbed and now falling apart. I enjoy occasionally thinking through a few of the non & semi quantitative exercises at the end of each chapter (unfashionable though it might be to indulge in an intellectual exercise just for the challenge & pleasure of it), and have more seriously delved into H&R (or R&H?) quite a bit in my career as an engineer when in need of some clarification on fundamentals. Felt it was time to update and go for a 'proper' H/B copy. Well worth it!Dr Mike Gray
