First printing riddled with errors  2006-02-07
The first printing is riddled with errors. Freeman have published on their Web site 10 pages of errata, but I have found yet another error. I am left wondering how many errors remain, even in the newer, corrected, printing.
The examples are often worked with such abridgment that the student is left staring across either conceptual or algebraic chasms.
Too much page space is burned on problems, and not enough on exposition.
My perennial pet peeve for modern textbooks: the coated paper makes the book too heavy. I had to rip it into individual chapters to make it tolerable. And, of course, it is too expensive.
Gives me the creeps everytime I see it  2004-07-29
What a bulky book, my all time companion during those long walks to the city library. How I would open you and reopen you and close you and reclose you every other day! How I kept all my stuff in you so that I might not have to spend hours searching for the appropriate answer pages! How I'd cuss when you got some of the answer solutions wrong! How I'd get annoyed when your problems did not occur in real world situations. How I'd struggle to keep my mind when I encountered on of those Niko problems. I still remember the dread I used to feel when I saw a three-dot problem. And the agony that a two-dot would sometimes be harder than a three dot. You gave me many hints to solve those problems, but why didn't you give sufficient explanations? Why? Why did you make me do the same lengthy problem with a differnt set of numbers and then speculate about the different results? Did I learn anything conceptually from you? I think it was all plugging in stuff, and making sense of diagrams. That's why now all that I've learnt seems like a distant memory. You are not welcome in my thoughts any more, oh bulky book!
dazed and confused 2003-06-30
Terrible book - often when explaining problems, it skips steps (so you have no idea how they got from one point to the next), and they show so few examples. Over 100 homework problems for each chapter, with only the odd-#ed answers in back (no explanations, or even-#ed answers), and most of the problems have nothing similar that are explained in the chapter!
I'm having a rough time comprehending this book, and I'm an 'A' calculus student.
Very excelent.  2003-05-12
The first equation that you see in this book is that "Tipler= Quality"At first, this seems a little pompous and presumptuous. But it is alas, oh so true. When I first started physics this year, I had no experience of calculus. I thought taking a physics course based in calc was going to be hard. I was wrong, as Tipler's explinations were so well done that I found the math to be easy. Although its true that most of my physics learning came from my high school teacher, the only thing he lectured on where things that came almost directly from Tipler. This was convinient if I didn't feel like taking extensive notes. By the end of the simester, I had mechanics mastered. With Tipler by my side, the biggest challenge in learning physics was overcoming my own lazyness.
