| Applied Physics Crash Course (Shaum's Easy Outline series) Arthur Beisler (2003) $8.95, 138 pages ISBN 0-07-139878-3 (McGraw Hill) |
Summary: This is a quick and very basic review book, covering Semester I and II physics topics. It might be useful for a refresher of basic topics, but is not very detailed. There are no problems to be solved, though it has some examples. For some reason, this title doesn't seem to be available from the Schaum's website. |

Review: Physics |
Summary: This is a fairly thorough review book, covering Semester I and II physics topics. There are a lot of worked problems as well as problems that you solve yourself. This book is only slightly more expensive than the Crash Course book, but is much better. |
