Awesome Help October 1, 1999

Andy Elby provides a really good set of problems and solutions for E&M. He shows you typical problems that your professor will ask you, explains what the problem wants you to do, and finally how to go about solving the problem. Helped me ace Physics 7B at Berkeley. Ideal source for those who look at a physics problem and don't know where to start. Especially with E and M, the correct problem solving path is not always obvious, since Electricity and Magnetism isn't something you can touch or visualize as easily as mechanics.

If it wasn't for this book, there is no way I could have passed my physics class. The textbook used was absolutely incomprehensible, but this book led me through problems and helped me understand the concepts rather than just come up with the correct answers.

This is definitely one of the best study guides that I have ever used. It's step by step approach is very helpful. Each chapter begins with simple problems and ends with the most challenging problems (which are likely to show up on exams). The author not only goes over how to solve each individual problem in detail, but he also explains the concepts very clearly, so that you can apply those concepts to solve other problems. It has helped me do well in my introductory physics classes.
You should get this book. March 1, 2000

This book explained things much more clearly than my textbook. If you're taking physics you should get it.
