Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a good first-year undergraduate physics book that focuses on the fundamentals. I am looking for a book with LOTS of worked out examples, or even better, just a reference book filled with examples. My class moves very quickly and the prof barely has time for one example of everything, so that's the main reason I'm looking for such a book.

A book with a couple of challenging problems would be good too.

Thanks in advance.

One good book is the Physics Problem Solver.
