Title: Too complex for its own good
Review: I am currently using this book for a Physics I-level class. Though it covers an incredible array of topics, the authors choose to use language far too complex and examples and problems far too enigmatic for students to decipher. Doing homework and studying is an excercise more in following language and deciphering the text than anything else. Instead of learning about physics, I become frustrated and give up on the topic of the day. Even the teacher of the class struggles with the solutions manual on a regular basis. The result is a class absolutely puzzled by the material with hardly any actual physics learning occurring -- only floundering in a sea of numbers and equations.
