worst experience of my life sorry to the man who wrote this

I covered most material up to around page 800 for Physics 191-192 at Montclair State University. Solid text. Good explanations. Not a lot of baby steps though. No avoiding the fact that this is pretty tough material. I have just finished the class, and I've learned a lot ( waiting on grades, lol ) I am not a physics major, but see myself revisiting this text to build up physics muscles sometime down the road.

A clear and concise look at mechanics.
Appreciated the consistency in color coded figures/variables as well as the more atomic-level explanation to concepts.
Examples are clear and straight forward. Basic calculus understanding is recommended when trying to dig deep into example problems.
