Reviewer Quotes

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.

  • The strengths of this text are its clarity, the large selection of problems, level of difficulty, and the restraint used in topic selection.
