Advantages: Everything Is Included.
Disadvantages: This book is very heavy, could give you a strained back. Honest

...golden compendium of in depth physics knowledge. It takes you from an all round understanding to a ground understanding of degree standard physics. It should stand as the foundation of any person who is studying Physics or even Engineering at university. Just to clarify on realrobwriters review which was very much spot on… The Scope of the book is as follows. 1. Mechanics Motion in one dimension Motion in two or three dimensions Newton’s Laws ...
...a branch of 1st yr physics that is not covered by this book. P.Tipler feeds you the information you need at 1st yr level slowly and very often refers to previous chapters.

Especially at its low price, It used to cost £70. BARGAIN! Keith ... Read review

Advantages: Good book
Disadvantages: Still £30

(Yes, I'm starting to worry I chose the wrong degree!). Anyway, the book is entitled "Physics for Scientists and Engineers', is written by Paul A. Tipler and is currently in the fourth edition. There was plans to releases a CD-ROM with one edition, so this may appear in the future, but ...
...the status of being the Physics Bible, which makes the writer Tipler a god like figure amongst us Physics students. Despite one student thinking that our lecture was Tipler in disguise, the guy who actually wrote this book lives in Berkley, California, is a physics lecturer and a seemingly clever guy. Finally, on to the book itself. I like it. As textbooks go it's a good one, a book you can really use to learn things, and to help you revise. Too ... Read review
