 Conservation law September 7, 2008
This is a non-traditional introductory physics text, it's the first book will be used in the first semester of cal-base physics. It's a great book, but sometimes depends on the teaching style of the professor. Some part of the book is somewhat confusing, and using 14 lecture time to get through conservation law and interaction seems a bit tedious than usual.
 A Fantastic University Series September 14, 2007
I took New York State Regents physics in 11th grade back in high school. I've always had a skill for math, but after taking Regents physics all I thought was, "Meh, that was fun." When I got to college I decided to give physics another go, and since I had some advanced math experience, I chose a course called University Physics (which is calculus based, over the strictly algebra based "College Physics"). Moore's Six Ideas were the required texts -- the first three units (C, N, and R) covered in the first semester, and units E, Q, and T in the second semester.
Moore's books literally changed my life. After taking University Physics, I fell in love with the subject again, and am now a junior undergraduate majoring in both math and physics. My only regret is that I sold Moore's texts back after completing the course, as I needed the money. I wish I still had them for references, and chances are I will end up buying the set again for just that.
