Hi, I just purchased a Book on physics from amazon. What do you think of it?
My criteria was:
Fundamentals
High end theory's
Mathematical/Theoretical explanation
Mathematical overviews
Do you think the book matches?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/0321501217/?tag=pfamazon01-20
Do you think this was a good pick?
Or should I have gotten the following: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0471758019/?tag=pfamazon01-20 , or https://www.amazon.com/dp/0470379243/?tag=pfamazon01-20 .
Please respond as soon as possible I can still cancel my order.

University physics and fundamentals of physics are both very popular and none of them can be said to be better than the other.I have fundamentals of physics and find it very good.I have seen university physics also and feel that it has more matter and covers many more things. Both of them are among the top books. I don't know much about the third book.
