Physics Books

Physics is all around us. It is present in the minute world of the atom and in the vast universe. There is physics in our everyday life. Physics makes our lives more comfortable and enjoyable. Physics for Scientists and Engineers by Raymond A. Serway, John W. Jewett is a standard calculus based physics textbook and the basic reference for freshmen courses. Serway and Jewett present a wide range of examples, illustrations, quick quizzes, and exercises that should help you grasp the basic laws of physics, and prepare you for further studies in science and engineering.

Physics for Scientists and Engineers by Douglas C. Giancoli is a comprehensive textbook for scientists and engineers who are interested in an introduction to the basics of physics. The text is an unexpectedly easy read, written in a colloquial style. Each chapter starts with a page or two of the introductory theory and then immediately gets into the examples. Fundamentals of Physics by David Halliday, Robert Resnick and Jearl Walker is a successful textbook, which offers a solid understanding of all major aspects of physics. It is written in an easy style, with clear examples and explanations. The authors don't force the reader to memorize formulas. They rather spend time in making the students understand the material adequately. The material is suitable for a self-study.

University Physics with Modern Physics by Hugh D. Young, Roger A. Freedman might be the most widely adopted freshman physics text available. The main strength of the book are its straightforward and clear explanations of all covered topics, and the very well-done diagrams, illustrations, and photos, which help readers better visualize key concepts. The text contains a large number of instructive and clearly explained numerical examples, making the book very easy to self-study. With hundreds of popular-physics books published every year, finding the best is quite difficult.
