best physics textbook? (1 Viewer)

[redhat]

I have a whole host of physics textbooks lying around, but I just cannot get down to studying from them because of a whole number of reasons.

a) they are not visually appealing or CONCISE!! It is like 3 pages of rubbish for a simple 2 sentence definition.

b) above.

What Physics textbooks for prelim and hsc in the future for me do you recommend?

Jacaranda and Excel seems to have been my most effective combination..

What about Macmillan?

Yeah we use the Jacaranda text but our edition still have some of the old syllabus in it but we're getting through it fine! It's very informative.

i usually read excel just to get the jist of things then i use jacaranda for more detailed stuff. its got lotsa nice colours and diagrams :uhhuh:

Unfortunately, with the new syllabus, it's meant that there is a lot of useless information in the text books for the moment, Jacaranda included. I think it is very good, but just keep your syllabus handy because you don't want to look at stuff that you don't need to.
