Modern Physics: For Scientists and Engineer

Got an A- in modern by reading this book

good

The book explains most concepts in a way that can be grasped after a few reads and it is structured so that you can build upon each chapter in a linear fashion. There are some problems that could use a little more explaining and the practice problems do tend to go outside the scope of the chapter but overall a great textbook.

The books were ok. The box was badly damaged and it was somewhat surprising that the books had remained in the box. I realize the sender has very little control over the carriers, but some improvement in the packaging would help.

Used this for an intro quantum physics class. The problems don't all have answers in the back despite it saying odd problems. There are only a few typos in the first 11 chapters we went through. Easy to read with lots of graphs.

Please note that this textbook is IDENTICAL to the textbook of the same title and edition # published by Addison-Wesley in 2003. The only difference is that this is a soft-cover and has a different cover image. The pagination and content is identical. I've gone through multiple chapters checking this. Even the homework problems are identical. As such, if you're looking to save a buck as a college student and you can pick up the old 2003 version, you will be doing identical readings and homework sets if you follow along.
