Customer Reviews

Exactly what I needed. It came in good condition. I needed this book for a class and ordered it on here cheaper than at our bookstore and it came when I needed it and in great shape!

Shipped in good condition and did what it's supposed to do. The book unfortunately seems to assume you already have a good concept of how forces work in the "real world"; a strong understanding of Newtonian physics seems to be prerequisite to understanding it. It does a good job of working through the examples and problems so you can do well in your class although it may use different methods than your professor uses.
