University Physics for the Physical and Life Sciences, Volume 1: Volume I

I found this textbook confusing. I would recommend

This book dances around the math underlying the concepts by attempting to give more intuitive explanations, but I found it more confusing than dealing with math. The problems are often vague and the solutions in the back are laden with typos and offer no explanations to find the solutions to the many bizarre problems.

My professor chose this book, but it's full of typos and errors. The sample problems proposed are not useful and don't reflect the material well. The wording is small and so are images. I've never read a chapter in this book, I have to rely on class notes, but I do all the problems at the back of each chapter for practice. The other volume is just as bad too. If you have a choice DO NOT get this one

worst textbook ever. even one star is too much. cannot clearly explain the concepts. its better to search online than to look into this textbook. too many errors.

This book contains way too many mathematical errors. I use this for a basic physics class at Brown University. I am continuously frustrated while studying for exams due to the large number of mathematical errors in the answer key and the examples. I am no physicist (I am actually really bad at physics), but I still can see that the people who wrote this book have made numerous mistakes in calculations. Sometimes, the answer key provides an answer that does not match the question. When the key does provide an answer, it is often off by a certain factor that results from a multiplication of division error. This book is downright terrible.

My school decided to pilot this book last year after using  University Physics 13th Edition  for many years. At my school, the people who take the lower level physics classes are often premed and doing so for the requirement, so I guess the reasoning is valid that people would want some relevance to the life sciences.Problem is, this book tries WAY too hard to give relevant examples and spends no time actually explaining concepts. I had to buy University Physics and spent the entire year translating the reading assignments just so I could understand what was going on in class.My advice: if there is ANY way you can avoid using this book, from one college student to another, please do!

Probably the worst book out there. It's way of teaching is horrible. Professor at SCU is great in teaching, but books sucks.

Book is basic about topics
