TECHNICALLY I AM DONE WITH THIS. SLAY. MY OFFICIAL REVIEW? HONESTLY A SOLID 2.756/5. I UNDERSTOOD NONE OF THE CONCEPTS THIS DID NOT DO A GOOD JOB OF EXPLAINING STUFF BUT HOLY HECK I HAVE NEVER HAD A BOOK WITH MORE THOROUGH SOLUTION GUIDES THAN THIS. SAVED MY ASS FOR THE HW TBH. goodbye giancoli, may we never meet again.

It is safe to say that Physics: Principles with Applications is, by far, the most comprehensive non-calculus physics textbook. I am currently reading this book and it has been fantastic. The author explains things in clear detail and provides quality problems at the end of each chapter.
One thing D. Giancoli could add is a separate solutions manual for the book instead of giving just the answers to the odd-numbered problems.

This book has my blood sweat and tears poured into it, literally! I would get really anxious when doing AP physics homework and pick at my nails until I bled on the pages. Sorry Swager!

Was gonna give it 1 star cause physics has become my most annoying final, alas they do explain the content quite well and I cannot spite the author on behalf of a mediocre professor!

Brilliant book, fantastic questions, sufficient to master fundamentals of physics.

Best book there has ever been.

[Arianthe Inlong · Rating 1 out of 5]

Book does a good job explaining some topics. Would not read again.

[Emily · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book presents the material quite clearly -- provides a great explanation to historically daunting material, making it easier to grasp.

The class in which I am reading it, though... 3 quarters of Physics in 8 weeks does not a good foundation make.

ini buku tpb juga, kami biasanya nyebut "buku giancoli", hiksss.... buku yang sangat menyeramkan, fisika..oh fisika..
Enak dibaca dan mudah dimengerti kalau suka fisika, kalau ga suka, ya cuma enak dibaca aja..hahhahaha

Q: How do you teach physics without using calculus?
A: This book.

[Wittiyaa · Rating 3 out of 5]

bahasanya mudah dimengerti, aplikatif, gampang, cetakannya bagus, contoh soalnya mudah diikutin tapi luar biasa, jau2 lebih bagus daripada buku bikinan Sutrisno dari institut tetangga sebelah..

Anyone a physics person?! I am severely struggling. I've never been much of a science/math girl...

[Chole Allyson · Rating 1 out of 5]

I hate math therefore I hate physics.

And this is the reason I'm not reading anything else...

[Rebecca · Rating 3 out of 5]

Really not great. At all. Am depending on other texts to explain things more clearly and concisely.
