For algebra-based introductory physics courses taken primarily by pre-med, agricultural, technology, and architectural students.
This best-selling algebra-based physics text is known for its elegant writing, engaging biological applications, and exactness. Physics: Principles with Applications, 6e retains the careful exposition and precision of previous editions with many interesting new applications and carefully crafted new pedagogy. It was written to give students the basic concepts of physics in a manner that is accessible and clear. The goal is for students to view the world through eyes that know physics.
I can't lie, I do not enjoy this book. I have had so much trouble understanding how to solve Physics equations from this book. Amazon gives this book a better rating than "Physics by John D. Cutnell and Kenneth W. Johnson," but that's crazy talk, because I'VE READ BOTH! Cutnell's book is much better at outlining steps involved in solving real-life problems; Giancoli goes into a suffocating amount of detail about Physics, and only the Physics nerds should even open this book. Some of the chapters are better than others.
