Intro Physics Differences in problems between fundamentals of physics and principles

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the differences between "Fundamentals of Physics" and "Principles of Physics," both authored by Halliday, Resnick, and Walker. Key points include the variation in the number and difficulty of questions presented in each textbook, while the theoretical content and derivations are treated similarly across both editions. The importance of specifying authors when discussing textbooks is emphasized, as many books share similar titles, which can lead to confusion. A link to a Quora discussion is provided for additional context on the differences between the two texts.

There is a difference in the questions (amount, difficulty) between fundamentals of physics extended 11th edition and principles of physics 11th edition? And both textbooks treat the theory the same in terms of derivations?

Unless you provide the names of the authors, we will not know what books you are talking about. There are many books with essentially the same title.

Thread 'List of STEM Masterworks: THE SUMMARY'

This thread only works as a summary from the original source: List of STEM Masterworks in Physics, Mechanics, Electrodynamics... The original thread got very long and somewhat hard to read so I have compiled the recommendations from that thread in an online (Google Drive) spreadsheet. SUMMARY Permits are granted so you can make comments on the spreadsheet but I'll initially be the only one capable of edition. This is to avoid the possibility of someone deleting everything either by mistake...

Thread 'Review/refresher of college physics: textbook recommendations request'

Largely what the title says. I'm a retired chemical engineer, but for my own re-education, I'd like to review my college physics courses. Those were more than 50 years ago, and a portion has slipped away from lack of need/use. So...how about recommendations for general (say, 200 or 300 level) physics textbooks? It would really be handy if such a book/books were available as free PDFs (yeah, I know...I'm cheap). Thanks very much.
