Halliday physics vs. fundamentals of physics

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the differences between Halliday's two-volume "Physics" and "Fundamentals of Physics." Users express a preference for the two-volume set, citing its greater depth and clarity compared to the more simplified "Fundamentals." While the difficulty of problems in both texts is considered similar, "Fundamentals" is viewed as a less comprehensive version, lacking the in-depth exploration of concepts found in the original "Physics." Additional threads provide further insights into these distinctions, emphasizing the superiority of the two-volume set for a thorough understanding of physics topics.

What's the difference between Halliday's Physics (2 volumes) and his Fundamentals of Physics??
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Physics is much better than Fundamentals of Physics IMO.
 
thanks for all the responses

Does it go more in-depth into the concepts of each topic? How about the difficulty of the problems?

If I remember correctly, the difficulty of the problems is approximately the same.

The clarity of the original Physics is greater and it does go more in-depth. Fundamentals is like a watered down version of the original.
