General Physics II Course

The physics textbook I used was a comprehensive resource with clear explanations and well-organized content. It effectively covered complex concepts, making it a valuable tool for understanding challenging topics. The problem sets were diverse and provided ample practice, contributing to a solid grasp of the material. While the textbook was slightly dense at times, the inclusion of real-world examples and practical applications enhanced its overall usability. A reliable choice for anyone studying physics.

Does EVERYTHING that much more expensive commercial textbooks do!

I used to teach my third-semester calculus-based engineering physics class with Giancoli as the textbook (it's what UC Berkeley, where I used to teach, used). This is the first semester I switched to this OpenStax textbook, because: (1) I was tired of students in my class not reading the book, and the cost of the textbook (along with inconvenience of proprietary, locked-down ebooks) was a big factor, (2) I was tired of feeling guilty about telling my students that they had to pay $200+ in textbook material costs on top of their tuition in order to take my class.I had some initial doubts, but so far (1/3rd of the way into the semester), the textbook has worked out well. It covers all the materials other textbooks 5 times its cost (if you are comparing hardcopy costs; the digital download is free) does, and the odd sections it leaves out (like intensity of double-slit or resolvance of diffraction grating) are either something I feel comfortable covering with my own notes or something I would have skipped anyway in the interest of time.Having said all that, to address some common issues that do come up: (1) yes, this book does have more typos than Giancoli (no serious errors in physics covered, but my students have found on average 2 or 3 new typos per chapter that I reported to OpenStax---I give them extra credit for finding errors, mainly to reduce any frustration that they might feel at finding errors), and (2) no free online homework system to go with the textbook yet exists (I am programming in problems from this book into MyOpenMath this semester).If you aren't willing to put up with these issues yet (as an instructor), you should come back in 5 years and see how much it has gotten better (it is, after all, so unfair to compare such a new book against textbooks that have gone through 4 or more editions).P.S. If you are trying to integrate sections of your textbook into your LMS (so that students will actually read it), this book is *far* better than any commercial textbook (with its DRM'd ebooks) can ever hope to be, no matter what the price. I could *never* integrate the Giancoli textbook into my school's LMS, even if I forced each of my students to pay $500 per semester. With this textbook, I can do that for free.

Very good and affordable textbook in University physics!

I strongly recommend the OpenStax University physics series!
