Physics 2 Supplementary Guide?

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a book that I can use for algebra-based Physics 2?

For Physics 1, I used http://www.amazon.com/Introductory-...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1246899054&sr=8-1

I would prefer something like that, but I can't find it! I am having a very difficult time with the text book and professor.

So, any recommendations?

Thanks!

I had the same problem with my Physics experience..I have come to find that Physics is just a subject that really takes a different mindset to fully understand. So I just kept doing problems and rereading the chapters. The good thing is that you can get problems correct on exams without fully understanding the concepts. However, it is much better to understand what you're doing, rather than just doing it. I remember studying one day....and it just dawned on me..I UNDERSTAND THIS STUFF. Maybe the problem is not your book...maybe you just gotta keep at it!

Thanks for the encouragement 🙂

What is frustrating about the book though is that I bought the solution manual and they only show how to do a few problems per chapter. This means I don't understand/know if I'm getting the other problems right or wrong 🙁

Try this. My roommate has this same book stashed away in our bathroom. When I'm bored I take a read through. It's comical and the authors get their points across. Maybe take a gander at it if you're having trouble conceptualizing physics. 🙂
