Find a new school and a new professor.Arman777 said:My major is physics and our professor choosed this book for electromagnetic course,

Any ideas about the book ?
jtbell said:I assume you really mean Vol. 2 which covers electromagnetism, or the combined book which includes mechanics, electromagnetism and some modern physics. This is a common textbook for calculus-based introductory (first year university) physics courses in the US. It's comparable to e.g. Halliday, Resnick & Walker's Fundamentals of Physics. I've never used it myself, but the major textbooks at that level are very much like each other in regard to topics covered.

MidgetDwarf said:I would try to get my hands on Alonso and Finn: Fundamental University Physics.
Book 2 deals with Electricity and Magnetism. Great book series that is between Halliday and Resnick and books like Kleppner/Purcell.
Alonso does not shy away from calculus. Connections between Physic ideas are shown, and derivations are clear and mathematically correct.
dextercioby said:None of the twenty chapters of that book deals with electromagnetism.
Then why ask for our opinion?Arman777 said:I don't know I have two physics book...I have to solve their problems first :)
Opinions are always good :)MidgetDwarf said:Then why ask for our opinion?
