Wanted to get this for my course PHYS 110: Foundations of Conceptual Physics and grabbed it on discount so that was a win at least. The book feels solid enough and the pages aren’t super thin which is nice. Haven’t gone too deep but the stuff I looked at so far seems sort of helpful in what's explained. Honestly, kinda average and not blowing me away compared to other books but it does the job so far. Came in good shape after a few days, so no issues there. Might get more into it as semester goes on but so far just okay.

Grabbed this on discount for my course PHYS 105: Conceptual Physics for Everyday Life, and it came quick which was nice. Haven’t had much time to read but it feels sturdy and easy to hold, pages aren’t flimsy which is a plus. Looks like it’ll help with class so far, can’t complain.

Needed this book for my Bachelor of Science in Physics program and found a good discount, so that was cool. The textbook feels sturdy and isn’t super flimsy, which I like, but so far the content hasn’t really caught my attention much. I’ve gone over some parts, and it’s helpful enough but nothing I’d call inspiring or different. It’s kind of middle of the road for me. Took maybe 4 days to get here and it arrived in good shape though, which always helps. I’ll probably keep plugging through it but haven’t gotten too far yet.

Picked this book up on discount for my Bachelor of Science in Physics coursework and it got here way faster than I expected. The physical copy feels really solid—pages aren’t thin or flimsy or anything, and the cover seems like it’ll hold up even if I toss it in my bag a bunch. Haven't had much chance to read much yet but flipping through a bit, it looks laid out pretty clearly. For now, just glad it was affordable and got here quick so I can get into the course without stress. If the content's half as good as the print, I’m in for a good semester.

Got this book at a discount for my Bachelor of Science in Physics coursework and it’s pretty handy so far, like it’s not too heavy and the pages feel decent. I’ve glanced at some chapters and it helps me follow along in class, definitely a useful buy. shipping didn’t take long either, which is nice.

So I got this textbook on discount for my Antelope Valley College physics course and it showed up crazy fast like two days tops. The book itself is decent quality, pages feel thick enough not to tear when I flip through hurriedly. I haven’t had a chance to read much but it looks like it will make following lectures a bit easier which is what I needed. Didn’t expect more considering the price, but it met that perfectly. Honestly, shipping was smooth and getting an affordable copy helped me not stress about the class budget-wise which is good news for me.

So it showed up super quick and the quality’s nice, like the pages don’t feel cheap or anything. Got this for my Queensborough course at a discounted price and honestly good deal so far—haven’t had time to read it all but it seems like it’ll help me keep up okay.
