Schaum's Outline of College Physics, Twelfth Edition

I taught physics at a small liberal arts college for thirty-seven years. During that period I taught our non-calculus introductory course at least fifteen times. I sort of recommended earlier editions of this book, with caveats about notation and units. English units showed up in the earliest editions, for example. I'm happy to say that were I teaching that course today, I would add this volume to the required texts. It uniformly uses, carefully, common notation and sticks to SI units. I have not gone through this book in detail (that would be pretty boring), but I looked at a representative sample of chapters and of problems. Professor Hecht has done a fine job of consistently aligning his text with current usage and conventions. The worked problems I examined have solutions that are reasonably detailed and quite clear. In addition, the flex cover and binding represent useful improvements over earlier editions. I think that both students and instructors of non-calculus introductory college physics, as well as high-school physics, will find this volume worth having at hand.

Zum Lernen!

Sirve como chuletario y recordatorio rápido de algún tema que hayas dado antes. También es muy bueno como libro práctico. Si lo que quieres es un libro teórico que entre en mucho detalle de varios temas busca otro de tipo más específico.

On s en lasse pas, je suis content d avoir acheté la nouvelle édition. Toujours très utile, untuitif, didactique, merci Mr Schaum !

The material outline and solved problems are excellent for learning the subject.
