Summary: My think is......
Comment: (First of all, sorry, but I can't English well)
This is my first Physics Book except that I studied in highschool.
Of cource, This book is quite difficult, but this text is
explaning in very detail for thinking like phsicist rather than simply for solve the problems.
If you want to be a Physics that I want to be also, I recommed this book strongly.
Obvously, I think that choosing this book is not both easy and
fast way, nevertheless I like this book for Student that want to be a Physicist.

Summary: Professors: Please Reconsider Using This Text
Comment: Having maintained a 4.0 GPA and being the top physics student at my level of college, I feel I am qualified to pass judgment on the usefulness of this textbook. I'm not particularly sure what Mr. Lerner was trying to accomplish, but if it was confusing introductory physics students, he was extremely successful. The questions are often vague and poorly asked and generally only marginally resemble the way the material was presented in the preceding chapter. In order to gain a decent understanding of the presented material, I was often forced to the Internet or another physics text. Many of the symbol choices were archaic or completely confusing. Often the same symbol was used extensively for different parameters when there are a plethora of acceptable and more often used symbols available (current, frequency, etc.). Any professor considering use of this textbook had better truly excel in his/her profession, or expect a tremendous number of confused, desperate, and eventually disillusioned students. Do everyone a favor and use something (anything) else. Physics should be challenging, but not so frustrating as to remove any enthusiasm for its study. This textbook is the perfect example of how to discourage students from pursuing a career in a particular subject!

Summary: Physics for Scientists and Engineers
Comment: I actually wanted to give this book a zero rating but was notgiven the option. Dr. Lerner may be an excellent physicist but he is aterrible textbook writer. This book explains nothing to a beginning physics student. The examples and questions are confusing and worthless...
