  • This is a great book
Format: Paperback
The examples and text are clear, but the math is a little bit difficult if you're like me and have been out of school for 6 decades. LOL If you count the appendix, it is 386 pages long. So it covers a LOT of topics. Which is why I purchased it.

  • Very helpful
Format: Paperback
This book follows the curriculum of my college course, and the examples resemble some questions on exams. The explanations make it easier to understand complex material

  • Icky Feeling Pages.
Format: Paperback
Helpful, but if you don’t like how newspaper feels, do NOT order the paperback. I am returning them and buying the nicer version from Barnes and Noble because I can’t stand to touch the pages.

  • A good reference book
Format: Paperback
Helpful but not what I expected. If you are born after the year 2002- you can get the same in general idea anywhere. Helps with high school and pre-high. I am keeping it regardless.

  • Choose your lifetime subject in college.
Format: Paperback
I always had an armchair interest in physics. But had forgotten everything I learned in my years-ago basic physics class. When your children are grown is not the time to start a new career, enjoy your family instead of trying to go back in time.
