For all of you college students, here are the mastering physics solutions. I found these useful more for getting the correct number, because we all know that the stupid online questions NEVER accept your answer whether it’s right or wrong Smile
Just an FYI: in case you aren’t already aware, the actual numbers will probably be different on the online questions. But this solution manual gives you the steps and formulas you need so all you have to do is plug in numbers. If you made it this far, you can do that much.

The book is split into many small, precise subsections and so allows easy reference to the topic you want to know about. The major equations are all included and explained well. The text is quite detailed and includes helpful examples. Concepts are explained in simple stages and in a way that is easy to understand; for example, the phases of the moon and ray diagrams. Resistors, which had been a little difficult for me, are very well explained. A simple detail like putting the names of the circuit symbols beside them on diagrams helps a lot. Throughout the book there are plenty of diagrams used to assist understanding rather than just illustrate the book. Overall I think that it would be best used as a revision aid. It reads very much like a syllabus with added explanation and examples. Perhaps it would be possible for a class to read a section before a lesson so less basic explanation is required during the lesson and other work can be done. The sections are brief enough to allow even the apathetic to complete such a homework assignment.
