Handbook of Physics 2002nd Edition

After owning this book for several months, I can honestly say I use it on a daily basis. If I forget a formula when doing my own homework, it's there. If an intro-level student comes to me at a TA session not sure if an equation will work in a given situation, it backs me up. Some of the best money I've ever spent.I can say the same for it's sister text, Harris and Stocker's "Handbook of Mathematics and Computational Science", as well, although that one has more of a European feel to it.

Admittedly, this is the type of book that will only show its true worth in time; however, having just completed my bachelor's in physics and working on my first year studying optical science and engineering, I have used it as a reference several times and always found what I needed. The brief explanation that accompanies the equations for each field have been quite good in my experience and very helpful.

An excellent reference book to have in your library.

The books are great but I was sent two volume ones not volume one and two.

All Was Good

Good explanations and illustrated explained examples. A fine addition to your science, physic or engineering library

Very good transaction. Came in time for Christmas. Very happy with this purchase.

A great resource for someone who has a general understanding of Physics
