This book fits our needs perfectly and saves us money so we can use it for other physics purposes.

This book fits our needs perfectly and saves money so we can buy equipment.

Love it for lots of reasons: after I officially adopted the text, Crowell emailed instructor supplemental materials: exam bank, problem solutions, reading quizzes, guide to using. One of the best reasons? Students can read it for information, not just treat it as a reference guide to hunt for the right formula. Had to supplement with my classroom set of Giancoli though for fluids.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04945022989332842805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5088860151651047897.post-37321125091563548592014-03-01T12:53:18.331-05:002014-03-01T12:53:18.331-05:00Since first-year college physics has not changed m...Since first-year college physics has not changed much in the last 30 years, there are plenty of older edition, used texts available cheap—that's not an area that desperately needs cheap texts. (Biology, where 10-year-old books are hopelessly out of date, has a much higher need.)<br /><br />In my Applied Circuits for Bioengineers course, I decided to use limited student funds for parts and tools rather than books that they wouldn't read anyway. There is an online text (All About Circuits) which is marginally adequate, and I tried putting together a reader from Wikipedia pages. I found that students were unable to read the Wikipedia articles—which also tells me that they would have been unable to read the high-priced circuits texts I'd also looked at.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
