University Physics: Volume 2

by William Moebs, Samuel J. Ling, Jeff Sanny

University Physics is a three-volume collection that meets the scope and sequence requirements for two- and three-semester calculus-based physics courses. Volume 1 covers mechanics, sound, oscillations, and waves. Volume 2 covers thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, and Volume 3 covers optics and modern physics. This textbook emphasizes connections between between theory and application, making physics concepts interesting and accessible to students while maintaining the mathematical rigor inherent in the subject. Frequent, strong examples focus on how to approach a problem, how to work with the equations, and how to check and generalize the result. The text and images in this textbook are grayscale.

Very in-depth with lots of great explanations to complex ideas that can be difficult to grasp. In addition, the book does a good job of providing examples that are understandable and relate to things that most people are familiar with. I initially used this book to supplement another textbook that was not well written, but often found myself just using this book instead. It is also great that it is essentially free.
