 Awesome! Simple to Understand September 30, 2008
Gerome Cabrera (Queens, NY USA)
This book is great. It helps you understand difficult topics in such an easy and quick way. It gives you lots of practice problems and solutions to each one. They help you solve problems the easy way.

The book was engaging in the fact that in presented challenging problems and helped the reader work through them but by chapter 10 I just couldn't take all the errors and had to put it down. There are numerous misprints for example problem 5.8 They set the problem up correctly but then clearly wrote the wrong answer (56,000 x 0.05 is not 2300). They misprint the number 34 with a 134 in problem 5.12 but then solve correctly, 5.17 they subtract m2g from m2a incorrectly but the next line reverse it. problem 5.19 when taking the derivitive of a sin they write the answer as sin, but the next line change it to cos. This is all very confusing if you are just learning the material, and the mistakes are everywhere. It becomes very time consuming to check and recheck answers just to find the book was wrong. This is the first schaum's outline I bought and will not buy another.

I bought this book for my high school AP Physics child; it is almost evil to have a student suffer through wrong answers. I bought the book at Barnes and Noble and have returned it to them. I made a grat case for B&N to return all copies to the publisher as a protest.
When my child complained I checked with Amazon for confirmation; one great thing about Amazon is the reviews!!
 Good for review for April 18, 2007

Aside from the typos (which I have since learned to expect in the Schaum's Outlines), I liked this book. It was concise and provided a means of getting a good review without having to pour through lengthy textbooks.
Sometimes, some steps are skipped from going from one formula to another but filling in those steps helped with the learning process.
Although not a complete study tool for the physics GRE (because it doesn't cover concepts like Lagrangians or advanced quantum mechanics that are found on the physics GRE), I definitely used it in conjunction with my undergraduate textbooks and I'm convinced it did help me with the physics GRE.
I wasn't particularly fond of his treatment of interference but I think he did a really great job with rotational kinematics and nuclear physics. But overall, a good review of physical concepts.
 Not a nuclear physicist! April 16, 2007

I'm just an engineering student, so what do I know? Well, I will tell you this much: there are a lot of errors in this book. Someone else wrote a review that said these errors are a good way to learn. This person was also a practicing physicist! I'm still learning and I don't leave much room for interpretation when something is incorrect. I automatically assume I'm wrong because I'm still learning. This is overkill, but there are a LOT of errors so don't throw caution to the wind. This book also explicitly states that you should understand some "obvious" things. If I did, I'd stick with my textbook! Not completely useless, but can be frustrating.
