Essential Calculus-based Physics Study Guide Workbook: Electricity and Magnetism (Learn Physics with Calculus Step-by-Step)

I have enjoyed all 3 of the volumes in “Essential Calculus Based Physics” so far, and for simple reasons. These texts truly do live up to their titles by introducing very *essential* ideas in physics. They bring all of the important ideas together, lay down the fundamental conceptual background information regarding the topic, and provide many examples to get you doing the work yourself. The concepts can be very clear for those who are accustomed to the “do it yourself” style books, but remember that this is a study guide and not a complete textbook, so that style of text should not come as a surprise to those who are diving in with little to no familiarity with both the mathematics and the actual physics. The diagrams often times will show vectors and/or are labeled strictly mathematically, so the conceptual representation is generally favored by the student with decent familiarity. The only thing I might be able to identify as a negative (for as insignificant as it may be), is that the answers to the problems are not written in with the problem itself, and instead you will have to flip to the back to find each individual answer. Nonetheless these books seem underrated and deserve more recognition.

You learn physics by doing physics and this work book manages to blend theory with a rich selection of problems designed to steer the student through the difficult E&M syllabus. I also have the companion workbooks for Physics I- both the algebra based and calculus based versions, single and multivariable calculus and differential equations. They are all excellent and very readable.

I’ll put it like this; DR.Chris McMullen, went to the store and got groceries, came to my house *PERSONALLY*, cooked and then chopped up and FED ME THE INFORMATION. If you get any physics book that works you through equations THIS IS THE ONE OK. I’ve never understood physics like I understand after working through this book. Excellent!! Thank you!!!!!!!!

OK for intermediate students but not good for beginners and those looking for easy introduction to physics.

Bought this for my husband and he just loves this book!

A great book, even though I looked at the answers for every problem. The answers were understandable, and the things I did not understand, I am confident will come with time.

Starts from the beginning and builds up. Good illustrations. Great author. I recommend it.

I just finished taking the 2020 AP physics c: e&m test and I used this amazing book to study for it. It is great for reviewing a bunch of the topics and the exercises are great! Honestly, without it I don't think I would have understood electricity and magnetism this well, I highly recommend buying it (its also only about $20 which is a great price for the amount of content contained).

Great book, heaps of information and value for under $30. Well worth it.

Não funciona no Kindle.

The book simply tells you how to consider and tackle problems. First by introducing you to the concepts, then by example, and finally by practicing a few problems. There are no trick questions and everything concept is explained. There are full solutions for every problem, every step of the mathematics is covered. I'd recommend this to any student wanting to pursue physics at University as it will cover everything you'll need in the 1st and most of the 2nd year for Electromagnetism.

جيد

Concepts in electricity and magnetism where generally hard for me but this book has lots of worked examples which definitely helps you get a better grasp of more challenging concepts. As a freshman in highschool this is one of the best physics workbooks that I have ever come across and helped me prepare not only for my exams but for challenging topics in the physics Olympiad.
