which is the best physics book? (1 Viewer)

[stainmepink]

If there is one good book that i have missed out, please state what it is, and whether you like it or not. I'm trying to work out which book to use, as i've been through several and all of them aren't very appealing to me

I say Jacaranda. It's written for the syllabus and doesn't contain much info that isn't relevant.
On the down side, not all of the questions have answers...

I've never used Jacaranda, but I found Excel quite good. It followed the syllabus points and had secondary source investigations done for you if you're too lazy to look the stuff up yourself.

Jacaranda because Excel, Spotlight and Surfing aren't textbooks, and Contexts is a piece of shit.

 

[jemsta]

yeh jacaranda is basically the only textbook there is coz teh rest are basically revision guides so those are the best when u have upcoming trials/hsc

Personally I find spotlight to be 10 times better than jacaranda. It has more depth and more questions but perhaps less relevance in some places. If you like the pretty pictures go for jacaranda but I think spotlight has more to offer you in the way of depth of information.

The only one I ever used was context, its where I developed all my notes from so I guess that'd be my choice

The Maquarie text book is exceptionally good for understanding concepts and knowing your material. jacaranda is very good in going into extreme detail (sometimes more than required). Maquarie is very good, please also add that to the poll.

excel is good for basics and jacaranda's good for the detail x)

but surfing should be burned ;__; half the answers are wrong and it REALLY starts to piss u off after a while....
