broke my heart, made me cry

Never have I read a more compelling tragedy. A book has never been so thoroughly used as a sponge before.

If I said “I never want to read this book ever again” I would be lying because I never read it in the first place 💀.

I like the way the problems are integrated directly into the text: read a few pages, do some problems, read a few more pages, do some more problems. VERY IB curriculum driven - which breaks up topics into SL and HL (Standard Level and High Level), so you see electromagnetism done twice, with early/easier concepts in the SL chapter, then more advanced in the HL. Great for IB, but terrible way to learn physics.

I can’t state how many times I’ve read the chapters for my physics course only to fail. It explains enough to understand the basic concepts but it’s not enough to pass ib.
If I read this one more time I think I’ll pass away.

Great companion for IB student taking physics subject. The concept is broad based and challenging.
