I am in search of an alternate Physics book.

AI Thread Summary
An eleventh-grade student is struggling with understanding Physics due to a challenging teacher and is seeking a supplementary book to enhance comprehension. They express confusion about their course, likely general Physics, and are currently using the Holt Physics textbook. A recommendation is made for "Conceptual Physics" by Paul Hewitt, which focuses on understanding concepts rather than complex mathematical equations, suggesting that mastering the concepts can simplify the math later. The student is looking for a book similar to a Princeton Review guide to aid their studies.

I am currently an eleventh grade student attending high school and I must say, I have the worst Physics teacher at my school. It is very very hard to keep up with her and such. I am in look for a book that will help me understand the problems in greater depth. At the moment I am completely lost in Physics and hoping that this book will help me find my way back on track. I don't know what to call my course of Physics. I'm guessing it's general Physics. Thank you.

You'll probably get better answers, but personally, I like Conceptual Physics by Paul Hewitt. I used it a year or so ago when I was just learning physics, and it teaches the concepts without teaching huge mathematical equations. After you get the concepts down, it's pretty simple to do the mathematics.
 
Which book are you using now?
 
I currently have the Holt Physics book provided by school.
 
I want a book that is sort of like a Princeton Review book.

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
This is part 2 of my thread Collection of Free Online Math Books and Lecture Notes Here, we will consider physics and mathematical methods for physics resources. Now, this is a work in progress. Please feel free comment regarding items you want to be included, or if a link is broken etc. Note: I will not post links to other collections, each link will point you to a single item. :book:📚📒 [FONT=trebuchet ms]Introductory college/university physics College Physics, Openstax...
