Dr. Antonio Pagnamenta; University of Illinois at Chicago
- This text is highly appropriate for non-science majors. It is a serious text, giving the proper amount of quantitative versus qualitative, descriptive materials. Well written and well illustrated.
- Griffith is a very serious and well written text for a University Physics course. It covers all of physics, the entire wide field. It balances descriptive material well with quantitative materials.
Prof. James W. Arrison; Villanova University
- I found the text interesting and well written.
- Overall, I found the writing style very nice-easy to read, enjoyable, and not confusing.
Dr. Jean-Claude Malik; Columbus State
- I think that this is a good textbook for students taking an introductory physics course.
Doug Davis; Eastern Illinois
- Griffith's style or readability is excellent. He is a good writer.
Prof. Lyle Ford; University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire
- Griffith's text is good because it does not try to be so ambitious and it covers many very interesting phenomena.
- The style was generally clear and easy to follow and there are a large number of good problems at the end of chapters.
- I am extremely impressed with the author's approach.
- The strengths of this text are its clarity, the large selection of problems, level of difficulty, and the restraint used in topic selection.
Ferinando Borsa; Iowa State University
- Griffith's book is very good because it treats every subject with conceptual rigor but little or no math.
- The strong point about Griffith's book is that it has centered perfectly the level of a physics course for non-science majors.
Charles R. Meitzler; Sam Houston State University
- I found the book to be highly readable. The author does not use an academic style of writing which is on of the book's strengths.
