This is the book that was selected for my calculus-based physics course in undergraduate. It had plenty of examples and go into all the interesting details of the basics of physics. I would recommend the bopok to anyone with an interest in physics as it relates to motion, force, ect.
I used this book in 1990, and tried to use it again in 2015 but it was just too outdated. So I replaced it with the 10 Ed.
Replaces 3rd Ed. volume; amazing book for clarity of development of topics.
