Intro Physics Book Question (Practice/Exercise/Workbook/Problems on Basic Physics)

Click For Summary
For beginners seeking a physics workbook with exercises and solutions, recommendations often include well-known publishers like McGraw-Hill, John Wiley, and Cengage Learning. While Schaum's Outline is frequently suggested, it is noted that it is not from a major publisher and may not meet everyone's preferences. Some users express dissatisfaction with the Schaum's series and seek alternatives. Concerns are raised about Irodov's classic text, particularly its lack of fully solved problems, which may hinder learning for some students. Overall, the discussion emphasizes the importance of quality content over publisher reputation when selecting a physics workbook.

Thread 'What did you do with your old college textbooks?'

Many years ago, as the internet was coming of age, I burned over 500 pounds of technical manuals. I realized I can look things up on the internet faster than I can find something in a technical manual. And just about anything I might need could be found online. But letting go of my several shelves worth of college text and other science books is another matter. I can't bring myself to get rid of them but there is very little if anything I can't find online now. Books are heavy and a pain...
