If you want to learn more of the mathematical and equational aspects of Physics, then this book is for you. It's part textbook, part workbook. It has lots of pictures, graphs, visual explanations, and each section has study questions to reinforce what you just read. The only thing that I really really really do not like about this book, is that the answers to the questions are literally right under the questions, so I have to cover them up so I don't accidentally peek. I like to just read the questions, reference the reading material again if I need too, do the math, figure it out, and then see if I am right or wrong and how far off I was if at all. If they would change that, the book would be perfect. Great for individuals that are want more insight to the subject of Physics. If you do not like math, do not get this book. You need basic math skills (high school/pre-algebra) to fully grasp this book and be able to spend time solving the math, not researching how to read the math to solve the math!
