The discussion centers around the suitability of the book "Physics Principles and Application" by Douglas C. Giancoli for covering the full high school physics curriculum, from grades 9 to 12. Participants explore whether this book is sufficient or if additional resources are necessary to encompass all relevant topics and equations.
Participants do not reach a consensus on whether Giancoli's book is adequate for high school physics. There are competing views regarding the effectiveness of algebra-based versus calculus-based physics education, and the appropriateness of various recommended texts.
Some participants express dissatisfaction with the recommendations provided, indicating a potential gap in meeting the specific needs of high school students. The discussion reflects differing opinions on the level of complexity appropriate for high school physics education.
I haven't found a good book no one helped me now I am asking about this book if he can cover all high school topicsmicromass said:You asked this twice already. Why do you keep asking this.

I have seen those books they're all for freshman and for the first year of undergrad not for grade 9-10-11 and 12micromass said:No one helped you? We gave you a lot of books. I suggested Halliday and Resnick.
