5By Physics for freeDrop out of engineering school. Read this book cover to cover, and you're good to go.Missing the middle
2By czuckFor what it is, it is fine. I base my review on the electricity portion which was based initially very high, then went low, then back to a high level of required knowledge. For instance, calculus based formula for the voltage potential difference, then to ohms law, then the voltage calculations for a capacitive reactance situation WITHOUT providing the simple calculation for capacitive reactance. Good intent, weak delivery.That example on the coin toss
5By susiechto collect bits and some of the other writing is a nice surprise in a book like this.??
3By ctfotoThis should be a grand resource, but the table of contents is illegible...Complete and Incredibly Organized
5By Thomas BradleyI love this mini encyclopedia. I'm a college student and this really comes in handy. Every unit is very easy to find and the book contains not only conversions, but also explanations for each unit. I've always wanted to know what a furlong is.Good book
5By SosotheaThis book is such a important to all maths student and also engineering. It shows all the conversion and formula.Awesome
