Good........2007-01-04
Good books about Physics. Not to difficult to understand, but not that easy either (It's PHYSICS!!!)
Too pretty - not enough meat.......2005-11-01
I doubt many who have written reviews here are actual college students. Physics is probably one of the most challenging courses one can take. Nevertheless, it can also be an exciting field of study - this book doesn't do it justice though. It has the potential of scaring off newcomers.
While the book's overall visual presentation is nicely done, the theory behind various mathematical laws is poor. Often, it takes two or three paragraphs of rambling before getting to the point on a topic.
Each chapter has its own set of word problems to solve. While some of the problems are generally a piece of cake, most contain subtleties and assume you know far too much prior knowledge outside the book. It would be a nightmare solving these problems without the answer/studyguide book handy. That guide is almost as large as the textbook and sells for almost $70 alone. Even with the studyguide, some of the demonstrations are illogical and don't necessarily reflect the material you learnt in the current or previous chapters. I've even seen plenty of cases where the math contradicts what the material in the chapter stated!
Although the book says it is a calculus-based text, there really isn't a whole lot of it in there. This might be a blessing to some but isn't always practical in the real world. My Calculus textbook covered physics problems better than this textbook! The authors tend to brush basic differentiation/integration in the theory portions but they're never really used in actual problems.
The PhysicsNow online study tool has some neat diagrams and interactive problems but is still generally useless. Good luck getting your account activated when registering online! I had to call customer service several times before I could actually login to the site.
I could conclude in saying that this book does make a great reference book to people who already have knowledge in physics. However, I'm sure there are better textbooks out there that can teach you the basics if you're new to the field. Many fellow students in my physics classes have shared the same grunts about the book as much as I have and agree that this book can make physics frustrating to the newbie.
Excellent.......2005-09-12
Great service. I had the book in just a few days after I ordered. Thankyou,

Garbage.......2002-12-16
Totally garbage....
The author jumps around a lot, and doesn't show enough thoery before giving u formulas. Some explanations are too wordy.. some are not wordy enough...
the person who wrote the first review was obviously linked to the book in some way..
pls stop putting up reviews if you have something to gain from the book's popularity... ur just fooling students...
A remarkable first step in changing physics pedagogy.......2002-07-17
Serway and Jewett have made a remarkable first step in changing physics pedagogy for the better:
1) They cover all topics of physics (including modern physics) in 31 chapters, more easily coverable in 2 semesters. To accomplish this, they removed some utlitarian aspects found in more traditional texts. I think Einstein would have liked this. Some utilitarian aspects are best left for (and in fact better covered by) engineering courses anyway.
2) They combined Newtonian relativity and special relativity into a single chapter and moved it to chapter 9, to be covered in first semester.
3) They introduce ALL fundamental forces in chapter 5 and apply a global approach to energy conservation in chapter 6. This allows them to implement a recommendation by the American Physical Society to present the first law of thermo as delta E = Q + W. Finally! Thermodynamics convention is in line with classical mechanics convention.
True, many staunch physics professors may not like the "prettiness" of the book, but I think this is a "walked ten miles to school in the snow" response. The following features make calc-based general physics more learnable for the first year college student:
1) Context overlay: the book is divided into 8 context sections that are associated with current challenges in our society. Chapters 2 through 11 are placed within the context of a mission to mars. This layout does not force the instructor to follow the context, but provides the student with things to think about while studying the material.
2) Pitfall prevention: marginal notes that tell the student what NOT to think or do with a concept or equation.
3) Modeling explained: THIS IS A BIG DEAL. In chapter 1, the authors explain how physicists use models to represent reality. They then reveal throughout the text the models that are used in the development of subject matter. This helps the student to actually learn about the philosophy of physics, and not just how to solve problems. But make no mistake. This approach actually helps the student learn how to solve problems. This is very important to the physics major, but also helps the engineering major understand the origin of the fundamental equations they use.
4) Mathematical level: Calculus is introduced gradually, since most students are taking first year calculus and physics concurrently. Most steps are shown when basic equations are developed, and references are made to mathematical appendices at the back of the text. Vector and scalar addition is introduced in chapter 1 to support kinematics in chapters 2 and 3, but the dot product is introduced in chapter 6 with work and energy and the cross product is introduced in chapter 10 with rotational dynamics.
There is more that can be done to improve the state of our general physics textbooks, but this is a great start. So I rated them "5 stars."

Schaum's Outline of Mathematica
ASIN: 0387983600 |
Book Description
One of the authors' stated goals for this publication is to "modernize" the course through the integration of Mathematica. Besides introducing students to the multivariable uses of Mathematica, and instructing them on how to use it as a tool in simplifying calculations, they also present intoductions to geometry, mathematical physics, and kinematics, topics of particular interest to engineering and physical science students. In using Mathematica as a tool, the authors take pains not to use it simply to define things as a whole bunch of new "gadgets" streamlined to the taste of the authors, but rather they exploit the tremendous resources built into the program. They also make it clear that Mathematica is not algorithms. At the same time, they clearly see the ways in which Mathematica can make things cleaner, clearer and simpler. The problem sets give students an opportunity to practice their newly learned skills, covering simple calculations with Mathematica, simple plots, a review of one-variable calculus using Mathematica for symbolic differentiation, integration and numberical integration. They also cover the practice of incorporating text and headings into a Mathematica notebook. A DOS-formatted diskette accompanies the printed work, containing both Mathematica 2.2 and 3.0 version notebooks, as well as sample examination problems for students. This supplementary work can be used with any standard multivariable calculus textbook. It is assumed that in most cases students will also have access to an introductory primer for Mathematica.

awful book.......2005-03-30
This is one of the worst technical books I have ever read. It seems like something cobbled together. It teaches very little vector calculus or mathematica.
Book Description
This book gives an introduction to the basic theory of stochastic calculus and its applications. Examples are given throughout the text, in order to motivate and illustrate the theory and show its importance for many applications in e.g. economics, biology and physics. The basic idea of the presentation is to start from some basic results (without proofs) of the easier cases and develop the theory from there, and to concentrate on the proofs of the easier case (which nevertheless are often sufficiently general for many purposes) in order to be able to reach quickly the parts of the theory which is most important for the applications. For the 6th edition the author has added further exercises and, for the first time, solutions to many of the exercises are provided.
Customer Reviews:
A very good book!.......2007-07-05
I read this book after I had read Karatzas' and Shreve's book "Stochastic Calculus..." and it is probably better to do it the other way round. The mathematical prerequisites are not high, however a good intuitive understanding of measure theory is probably necessary. The pace of the book is leasurely, the proofs are such, that pencil and paper is rarely needed, however no rigor is lost.
The book quickly moves to interesting applications of the theory, which is motivated very well.
It contains a few typographical errors, mostly in the last chapter, and mostly of a harmless nature.
With the necessary mathematical background, it seems to be an ideal introduction to this highly interesting topic of stochastic differential equations!
Excellent introduction on Stochastic Differential Equations.......2007-05-08
A well written book in Mathematics
Stochastic Differential Equations is a branch of mathematics. This book is not just for financial derivatives analysis or modeling. Oksendal first introduces the subject by raising a few stochastic problems (population growth; electric charge in RLC circuit; filtering problems, Dirichlet problems; asset management; optimal portfolio and options pricing) in the first chapter. The subsequent chapters develop notions and techniques which are able to solve wide varieties of stochastic problems (not just those mentioned in the first chapters). The arrangement is impressive in particular for readers who have no previous knowledge about the subject. The readers at least know the target for developing the techniques and would not lose the way when manipulating tons of symbols. Hints and answers to selected problems are invaluable to students for self-study.
To achieve a sound background on stochastic equations is extremely important especially in quantitative finance. It is not an easy job however. QF students may consider going through this book before seriously take Shreve's books on Stochastic Calculus for Finance.
OK intro to stochastic analysis.......2007-03-14
This is a standard work (it is the one I read when I first started looking at this sort of thing) but having taken it off the shelf recently again, I think it is overrated, for several reasons.
First, it is very notation heavy - TeX has seduced Mr. Oksendahl into all sorts of bad habits - I can very easily imagine that the earlier editions (mine is the 5th), which were written with a typewriter, are much more readable.
Second, the proofs are very formal, developed mostly in terms of classical functional analysis (square integrable real functions, geometry of real Hilbert spaces etc.). From the point of view of rigor this is fine, but from the point of view of intuition, not so much, esp. when combined with the heavyweight notation. In fact note that unless you have a decent background in functional analysis, of the sort you are more likely to pick up in a mathematics degree than a finance degree, then you are going to get precisely nowhere with this book.
I don't want to be too negative, and there is lots of good stuff here - just to warn that Oksendahl is not (as one might think) a royal road to the theory of SDEs (depressingly, it may be that Oksendahl is, nevertheless, the best of the bunch out there - it is certainly, all criticism not-withstanding, more accessible than Karatzas and Shreve).
Very good book - would not mind more on finance.......2007-02-08
Very good book. However the math prerequisite is at quite a high level. Especially the probability theory introduction could be a little less fast-paced. As my main interest was on the financial application I would not have minded a little more on that topic and a little less on e.g. filtering or stochatsic control in return.
good intro book.......2006-02-03
This is a good intro book. It brings you really fast to Ito's Formula and SDE. Somebody said that the Kolmogorov's backward eq in chapter 8 is wrong. This is false, it is just expressed in a different way than the usual form. However, with a change of time, you are all set.

An excellent how-to book.......2007-01-17
This is an excellent book for anyone who wants to learn how to solve physics problems in the most efficient way, by using patternization instead of rote memorization.
Many physics students complain that they can understand the lectures and reading materials, including the sample problems in the book, but for some reason they have trouble doing the problems at the end of each chapter. This book helps to bridge that gap between reading and doing.

Book Description
This treatment of potential theory emphasizes the effects of an external field (or weight) on the minimum energy problem. Several important aspects of the external field problem (and its extension to signed measures) justify its special attention. The most striking is that it provides a unified approach to seemingly different problems in constructive analysis. These include the asymptotic analysis of orthogonal polynomials, the limited behavior of weighted Fekete points; the existence and construction of fast decreasing polynomials; the numerical conformal mapping of simply and doubly connected domains; generalization of the Weierstrass approximation theorem to varying weights; and the determination of convergence rates for best approximating rational functions.
Book Description
This book is an exposition of semi-Riemannian geometry (also called pseudo-Riemannian geometry)--the study of a smooth manifold furnished with a metric tensor of arbitrary signature. The principal special cases are Riemannian geometry, where the metric is positive definite, and Lorentz geometry. For many years these two geometries have developed almost independently: Riemannian geometry reformulated in coordinate-free fashion and directed toward global problems, Lorentz geometry in classical tensor notation devoted to general relativity. More recently, this divergence has been reversed as physicists, turning increasingly toward invariant methods, have produced results of compelling mathematical interest.

The Best Introduction to General Relativity.......2006-06-04
If you want to engage in a serious study of general relativity, then you must master the mathematical language of semi-Riemannian manifolds in which it is cast. Sadly, the development of classical Riemannian geometry as studied by pure mathematicians only parallels the development of semi-Riemannian geometry in the early stages; eventually, the two subjects diverge rather drastically. For example, the famous Hopf-Rinow Theorem, one of the cornerstones of modern Riemannian geometry, simply has no Lorentzian analogue at all; every single equivalence in the theorem fails in Lorentzian geometry. Thus, one could master all five volumes of Spivak's definitive treatment of Riemannian geometry and still be unprepared to deal with light cones, timelike, null and spacelike geodesics, and the multitude of other uniquely semi-Riemannian constructs that appear in general relativity. O'Neill's wonderful book, which first appeared in 1983, provides the well-prepared reader with a mathematically rigorous, thorough introduction to both Riemannian and semi-Riemannian geometry, showing how they are similar and pointing out clearly where they differ. After developing the mathematical machinery in the early chapters, the last part of the book turns to general relativity by offering lucid introductions to the Robertson-Walker cosmological models (Big Bang singularities), the Schwarzschild model for a single non-rotating star (including black holes), and a brief introduction to Penrose-Hawking causality theory. If you would like to study a pure Riemannian text in parallel with this one, I would recommend the text by Boothby, written at a comparable level of difficulty, which remains one of the clearest and most accessible Riemannian geometry texts on the market. For the serious reader who wishes to continue on with a study of the Kerr solution to Einstein's equations, modeling the exterior spacetime of a rotating star, O'Neill wrote an entire book on the subject in 1995, now difficult to find but well worth tracking down. This 1995 text contains one of the clearest, most accessible
introductions available to the difficult subjects of the algebraic classification of the Weyl curvature tensor and the corresponding Petrov classification of spacetimes. I studied from O'Neill's 1983 text when it first came out and I have continued to use it as the primary text for an advanced undergraduate course I have taught over the past 20 years. It is not an "easy" text to read, but then, I have never found the "easy" introduction to differential geometry and general relativity. The reviewer who says this is not a suitable first text is simply in error; there is no better first text on the subject. If you have studied linear algebra, advanced calculus, and a little topology, then with dedication and hard work, you can learn more from O'Neill's text than from many of the far more popular recent texts, written by physicists, which attempt to circumvent the mathematics insofar as is possible while introducing general relativity. This is a perilous course for which the serious student will pay dearly later on, when she/he wants to study any of the many areas of modern physics in which differential geometry (differential forms, bundle theory, connections on a principle fiber bundle, gauge theory, etc.) plays an essential role.
Great book, terrible print quality.......2006-02-19
This is a wonderful book, with a clear, concise and precise exposition of the fundamental idea in riemannian and semi-riemannian geometry. Although I would not recommend it as a first text, it will be the text that you continue to reference later, and turn to when you want the best mathematical treatment.
However, I do not recommend that you buy a new copy. The print quality is terrible; the binding is poor, but even worse, the text quality is absurd. I have been using a library copy with cloth binding and sharp, clear text. It is obvious that the new printing in the green cover is based on a photocopy of the original rather than a new typesetting. While this means that no errors have been introduced, I found it painful to read. I would suggest looking for a used copy.
So 5 stars for the book, but only 3 stars for this printing.
Very good contents but.........2004-02-23
The only drawback, and it is a serious one, is the binding. For a such expensive book, one could expect a DECENT binding, but the outcome is a SHAME.
So 5 star for the contents an 0 for the binding
Addendum.......2000-04-17
This book is now available at Amazon.co.uk!
Its contents are: Manifold Theory. Tensors. Semi-Riemannian Manifolds. Semi-Riemannian Submanifolds. Riemannian and Lorentz Geometry. Special Relativity. Constructions. Symmetry and Constant Curvature. Isometries. Calculus of Variations. Homogeneous and Symmetric Spaces. General Relativity; Cosmology. Schwarzschild Geometry. Causality in Lorentz Manifolds.
Let's go buy it!
Excellent for beginner and experienced mathematicians.......2000-03-15
This is one of the best books on Differential Geometry I've ever read. It includes a clear exposition of all the basic results and then goes on to the most deep aspects of the subject, making it useful for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as experienced working mathematicians. It's a pitty that it's no longer available.

Schaum's Outline of Tensor Calculus (Schaum's)
ASIN: 3540360468 |
Book Description
There is a large gap between the engineering course in tensor algebra on the one hand and the treatment of linear transformations within classical linear algebra on the other hand. The aim of the book is to bridge this gap by means of the consequent and fundamental exposition. The book is addressed primarily to engineering students with some initial knowledge of matrix algebra. Thereby the mathematical formalism is applied as far as it is absolutely necessary. Numerous exercises provided in the book are accompanied by solutions enabling an autonomous study. The last chapters of the book deal with modern developments in the theory of isotropic an anisotropic tensor functions and their applications to continuum mechanics and might therefore be of high interest for PhD-students and scientists working in this area.
In the last decades, the absolute notation for tensors has become widely accepted and is now a current state of the art for publications in solid and structural mechanics. This is opposed to a majority of books on tensor calculus referring to index notation. The latter one complicates the understanding of the matter especially for readers with initial knowledge. Thus, this book aims at being a modern textbook on tensor calculus for engineers in line with the contemporary way of scientific publications.

Book Description
This book focuses on the requirements of a specific group of readers, structuring the book so that calculus is presented as a single subject rather than a collection of topics. With a user-friendly approach that keeps the reader in mind, the material is organized so that vector calculus is thoroughly covered. Approaches the theoretical aspects of calculus with the belief that, at the introductory level, it is important to understand the geometric basis for theorems and develop an intuitive understanding for the statements of the theorems and their implications. Emphasizes the power of calculus as a tool for modeling complex physical problems in order to present the methods of differentiation and integration as necessary skills needed to solve problems that arise from mathematical models. Excellent as a refresher for those in fields requiring a strong mathematical background.
