A Frustrated Physics Student.......2006-02-19
I had trouble solving the problems in the text that accompanys this book. I bought this in hopes that it would help me figure out where I went wrong in the solutions of the problems of the book and was disapointed in that it lists very few solutions. I was expecting it to be like my Calculus solution manual which lists all of the odd problems. I do not like that it lists very few problems, but the ones it actually does list helps me understand the material better, they were very thorough and easy to read.
Book Description
Improving the Game
When it comes to teaching and learning physics, most pedagogical innovations were pioneered in Cutnell and Johnson's Physics--the number one algebra-based physics text for over a decade. With each new edition of Physics, Cutnell and Johnson have strived to improve the heart of the game--problem solving. Now in their new Seventh Edition, you can expect the same spirit of innovation that has made this text so successful.
Here's how the Seventh Edition continues to improve the game!
AMP Examples (Analyzing Multi-Concept Problems)
These unique new example problems show students how to combine different physics concepts algebraically to solve more difficult problems. AMP examples visually map-out why the different algebraic steps are needed and how to do the steps.

Definitely helped!!!.......2007-08-28
I was failing physics and bought this book in order to do the practice problems because I could not even begin them on my own. This book helped out tremendously and I even ended up with a B!
Worthless garbage.......2007-08-22
This solutions manual is absolutely worthless. It contains solutions to maybe 10 percent of the problems. Don't buy it! I recommend Physics as a Second Language (Stuart Loucks) plus whatever text you are forced to purchase.

How could you possibly think this is helpful?.......2007-09-14
I took one look at this supposed solutions manual and knew it would be worthless. The book for accompanying this is pretty bad too, so why should I expect to get a decent solutions manual. This is a broad broad overview of each section and has maybe three actual solutions worked out if you're lucky. I get so sick of these authors doing the least amount of work for people that are really trying to learn this stuff. Unfortunately I will have to find help elsewhere. Also, if you want to review the book review it on the book page not on the solutions manual page.
Non Fiction.......2007-09-03
One of those bloodsucking drain the students dry of cash evil bastich series of textbooks. Some useful information, but probably up to version 27 of its cash gathering exercise by now. Exactly what textbooks should not be, a prime example of a RIP OFF, if there ever was one.
Not worth the money.......2007-07-16
This book was a major disappointment. Having taken 15 yrs off between getting my BS and starting grad school, I was looking for detailed examples of how to solve problems to refresh my memory. The solutions in this book skipped several steps and proved to be only marginally helpful, if even that. If you don't clearly understand the real text book, you won't get much help from this "solutions" manual. As in the text, there are not enough examples in this manual either. There is not even an example representing each subset of problems in the back of each chapter. Don't waste your money.
Owner of Advanced Eng Mathmatics, 9th edition.......2007-06-01
The student manual has been very helpful in getting me started back into the engineering mathmatics. It is nice to have a helper when I get stumped on some of the problems I know should be easy.
review on my book.......2007-05-07
I am satisfied with the quality of the book and the time it took for the book to reach me.
Book Description
Written by John R. Gordon and Ralph McGrew, with Raymond Serway and John Jewett, the two-volume manual features detailed solutions to 20 percent of the end-of-chapter problems from the text. This manual also contains lists of important equations and concepts, other study aids, and answers to selected end-of-chapter questions.

Good Supplement To Text.......2005-10-21
This book makes the course so much easier. I strongly recomend it to anyone taking the course. The solutions are very acurate. Only about 20 percent of of problems have soultions, enough to help the self-motivated students, not enought to use to cheat. I've worked through almost the entire text and have never found any errors. The study guide provides a usefull math backround, several fully worked exemples and good, concise, explanations.

Very clear and concise book.......2007-10-09
I used this book for an introductory Physics class and it was very helpful in supplementing my professors lectures. There are some really good pictures and diagrams to help in understanding various principles. It was very clear and concise. The algebra was more helpful than any other algebra book I've had, however the author did cut some corners in procedures which made it a bit hard to follow at times.
A student who loved this book.......2007-08-21
This book was wonderful, and I read it from cover to cover. Like some other reviewers, I also think that most readers would benefit from some more examples of problem-solving in the text. I didn't personally find that troublesome, as I learn more effectively when I have to work at figuring it out myself. Although, it would have gone much faster with more examples. I took calculus in college, yet I took the algebra-based physics courses, as the calculus-based courses were taught by poor instructors. I absolutely loved this book and learning about physics. The course was at 7:30 am (unavoidable) and since the instructor followed the book so carefully, I stopped going to class since it was so early. I was able to learn enough from this book alone (I would take notes on the chapters) that I could successfully complete the problem sets and take my tests and got A's both semesters, and it wasn't an easy class. I know that if we'd been using a lesser book, there's no way I could have learned all of that physics by just reading a book, as most books don't explain stuff nearly as well. I would have had to go to my early class, and probably wouldn't have understood anything! Yay for this book - it taught me stuff!
p.s. For all of you reviewers complaining about the lack of calculus: umm, it would be kind of unfair if calculus was in a book for an algebra-based physics class (of which there are many taught, even to science majors). these classes don't have calculus prerequisites most of the time. I know calculus, but not everyone who wants or needs to learn physics does.
A required text.......2007-07-21
I purchsed this book because it was required for my general physics class. According to my physics professor and personally trying to follow the process of problem solving, Cutnell and Johnson falls short. The sample problems lacked "showing work" and graphics to help a student absorb the sequence of problem solving. Their methods seem more elementary than the higher level expected in a college environment.
Physics Masterpiece.......2007-03-08
I have seen some that like this book and others that claim without the Calculus, its not worth much. I liked the book from the standpoint that the concepts were the clearest I have seen ever! For example on quantum physics, Chapter 30, he explains exactly the four quantum numbers and how they relate to Bohrs theory of energy levels and contrasts them. You can use this knowledge for chemistry, quantum physics or electrical engineering. Its important to get somewhat of a hold on the terminology, some history, and what your trying to accomplish. I kinda felt like a well prepared high shcool student or first year college student could do the problems; and I really think this is the aim of the book. Alot of chapters cover alot of different material and so its a good refresher or starter before going much deeper into Calculus based physics books, besides Calculus is very much an extension of algebra anyhow. I use the book a first source on a subject to get a feel for the subject, then move up to more advanced mathematics.
This book is utter crap........2006-09-28
Okay.
No student solutions manual. So good luck reasoning you way through the problems at the back of the book. No calculus, which actually makes things much simpler. The examples are not representative of the problems in the back of the chapters. Cumbersome algrebraic formulas that are not necessary if just a tad bit of calculus was employed. A waste of paper. Too bad universites use this, as the authors are obviously rip-off artists not at all concerned with the quality of their text, which is in shambles.

Solutions manual volume 2 and 3.......2007-10-02
I got it in the mail faster than expected. The manual works well even though its only odd problems. I use it all the time to double check my work or figure out how to solve certain problems. I have volume one and i used it a lot so I decided to get this one. So far, its been worth the money.
