Title: Do not buy this book!
Review: When learning physics, it really helps to have the concepts explained in a clear, concise way. Paul Tipler does NOT do this. Also, he tries to quickly "throw in" explanations of topics that need more attention than just two or three lines. See if you understand this: "A vector that points in the direction of the greatest change in a scalar function and has a magnitude equal to the derivative of that function with respect to the distance in that direction is called the gradient of the function." Most of Tipler's explanations are just like this.
