EXCELLENT TEXTBOOK by HRD (Minneapolis, MN) 5 Stars
July 01, 2009
This was the required textbook for my Physics I and II for non-physics majors course that i took as a pre-requisite for medical school. The text gives a lot of great examples and there is an underlying theme of penguins that you cannot help but love.

Fundamentals of Physics 8th Edition.-- Halliday and Resnick by JAMES R. O'NEILL (Redwood Shores, CA) 5 Stars
May 15, 2009
It's big! It's heavy! It has 44 chapters. I am in the middle of Chapter 3, and so I have a long way to go before I can fully evaluate the book. But the first few problem sets are very cleverly designed, and I have great hopes for the rest of them.

Discouraging by Anonymous  1 Stars
May 07, 2009
As a student in a course which used this book, I would like to share my experiences. Firstly, as my title suggests, this book is quite a disappointment for me.
I have a few major complaints:
Firstly, concerning how much calculus is used, I can honestly say Halliday, Resnick and Walker make a huge mistake by limiting the amount of calculus used in favor of algebra. The whole point of calculus is to formulate mechanics beautifully! algebra on the other hand is tedious and ugly at best. The very first section spends time deriving the kinematics equations through the use of algebra. WHY GOD WHY?
Secondly, the definition of a line integral is very tangentially touched, but never fully introduced, and when the author does evaluate line integrals, he shies awway from the standard definition; he formulates F*dr as |F|cos(theta)|dr|, then the author often assumes a path such that theta=180 degrees. The book's use of this "special" line intgral is discouraging to any student who learned about line integration in another course, not to mention, it is incorrect. Force on the other hand is introduced as the derivative of potential enegry... maybe in one dimension, correctly it should be formulated as the gradient.
The author runs away from calculus for some unknown reason and in the process makes learning very unmotivated, cumbersome and even bordering on incorrect! He encourages students to make up for a lack of calculus with silly algebra tricks rather than formulating a mathematically correct description. If you wish to talk about mechanics in 3 dimensions, you will need vector calculus,and that is a hard fact.
Lesson to learn: Appealing to a broader audience (those who don't know multivariable calc) comes at the cost of alienating those who know the math.

Worst Physics Book EVER! by musterionrth (SD, USA) 1 Stars
April 14, 2009
This physics book offers nothing but complicated, hard-to-understand, and need-to-decipher materials that often does not make sense.
I suggest extremely strongly that you do NOT buy this book.
