Physics news on Phys.org
does anyone have any comments on this book? I checked this book out from my univ. library today. I am wondering if you guys have any thought over it?
 
It's a nice book for physics majors. I personally read it in grade 9 and it was quite nice. I suggest at least Algebra 2 knowledge before getting started with it.
