  • Excellent, Easy to Understand Physics

    I bought this book to have as secondary resource for teaching either "Physics for Engineers" or "Modern Physics at the undergraduate level. I wish this quality of teaching material was available when I was a student. (50 years ago. Wow! How time flies)
