About the author

David Halliday (March 3, 1916 – April 2, 2010) was an American physicist known for his physics textbooks, Physics and Fundamentals of Physics, which he wrote with Robert Resnick. Both textbooks have been in continuous use since 1960 and are available in more than 47 languages.

His Physics has been used widely and is considered to have revolutionized physics education by many. Now in its tenth edition in a two-volume set revised by Jearl Walker, and under the title Fundamentals of Physics, it is still highly regarded. It is noted for its clear standardized diagrams, very thorough but highly readable pedagogy, outlook into modern physics, and challenging, thought provoking problems. In 2002 the American Physical Society named the work the most outstanding introductory physics text of the 20th century.

Fundamentals of Physics would benefit any student/teacher who wants to learn much about Physics. It has a comprehensive series of examples.

[Prakriti · Rating 5 out of 5]

Cannot recommend this book enough. As a medical student, I still go back to the chapter on thermodynamics and entropy. One will not find too much information/formulae. This book will help you understand what physics is really about, how you should approach the subject, what your thought process should be, and it’s significance in everyday life. This book helped me differentiate between what I understood and appreciated, and what I did not. In it’s simplicity lies it’s strength.

This book helped me a lot to understand physics from the core.
It has a detail overview on theory and it also provide lot of practice problem.

Those problem helps me to prepare myself for competitive exams :")
And I love this book.

I bought this book on amazon for three dollars and paid a hundred for the newer ebook. This book is worth so much more. The detailed solutions to problems were so helpful. This book is the main reason I passed my physics class. I'd definitely recommend to anyone.
