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.

Also to truly appreciate the beauty of mathematical endeavor one need to learn the reasoning behind the origination of concepts in mathematics, so as a beginner it appears to be worthwhile to learn the highly abstract aspects of mathematics like proofs, logic, and topics in pure...
