This is a new “math of physics” study guide series by an outstanding teacher.
Alan C. –
to translate physics measures into math for physics, a must have ,many more examples than I’ve run across before, to give a real use for math learned,to make the math actually mean something!!

well done
Math Customer –
Very good review of the subject
David Leonardi –
Very well organized and every step is explained in the examples. Each chapter presents all relevant formulas and then lists the meanings of each variable or constant symbol. The problems start out easy and lead up to the calculus problems. I have over 14 books pertaining to physics and this was one of the most helpful.
Patricia Taylor –
Good
Math Customer –
It help me understand the concept more clearly than the professor. It also saved my life. The only difference is the notation.

I have enjoyed all 3 of the volumes in “Essential Calculus Based Physics” so far, and for simple reasons. These texts truly do live up to their titles by introducing very *essential* ideas in physics. They bring all of the important ideas together, lay down the fundamental conceptual background information regarding the topic, and provide many examples to get you doing the work yourself. The concepts can be very clear for those who are accustomed to the “do it yourself” style books, but remember that this is a study guide and not a complete textbook, so that style of text should not come as a surprise to those who are diving in with little to no familiarity with both the mathematics and the actual physics. The diagrams often times will show vectors and/or are labeled strictly mathematically, so the conceptual representation is generally favored by the student with decent familiarity. The only thing I might be able to identify as a negative (for as insignificant as it may be), is that the answers to the problems are not written in with the problem itself, and instead you will have to flip to the back to find each individual answer. Nonetheless these books seem underrated and deserve more recognition.

I am interested in music theory and acoustics that I wanted to brush up on wave theory. I was so intrigued by the format and the presentation, I bought all three books in the series!

As someone who has found both learning physics and calculus very challenging, I am finding all of the books by Chris McMullen to be very helpful. While these are not a replacement for good text books on these subjects, they are a tremendous supplement. I am also enjoying comparing the sections in the physics books for solving problems for uniform motion vs. the same type of problem in “motion with calculus” to be a wonderful place to practice my elementary skills in calculus with real problems. This not only helps to cement my knowledge of physics, but also to help me better think about how I can apply calculus to these applications. These books, including the Physics Study Guide Workbook by Chris McMullen help a slow learner like myself to learn / review / and appreciate something that I struggled to just pass as courses in college. If I were a teacher of these courses in most colleges or in high school as AP courses, I would insist that students obtain Chris’s books for these physics and pre-calculus subjects as necessary supplements to what they would be attempting to learn in school. I also believe that there are many students like myself for whom these courses are very difficult, and I wonder how many ordinary have altered their majors to avoid these courses just because they believed them to be too difficult pass. Doing that is a real shame. What Chris’s books like Physics Study Guide Workbook does is to make these subjects more accessible to ordinary students. What I have said here, also applies to Chris’s books for calculus, and all of the pre-calculus subjects he covers as well. I wish I had these books available to me when I was in college!

Purchased this book for extra practice for my physics class and although I can come up with the correct answers, my professor teaches in a specific manner and if I do not show my work in HIS manner, regardless of having the correct answer, my answers are still marked wrong. The book did help clarify some concepts that were unclear and it does give me good examples to use for the topics we are covering.
Mariana Gehrmann –
The book has a very good setup starting with the review of basic mathematical concepts required for physics and then moves into more in depth chapters about the Laws of motion. Can’t beat the price for this so valuable book. Would definitely recommend.

I just finished taking the 2020 AP physics c: e&m test and I used this amazing book to study for it. It is great for reviewing a bunch of the topics and the exercises are great! Honestly, without it I don’t think I would have understood electricity and magnetism this well, I highly recommend buying it (its also only about $20 which is a great price for the amount of content contained).

As a retired engineer, one day, I decided to review Elementary and Advanced Calculus, Differential Equations (Partial and Linear) and the Laws and Principles of Physics. I found my path to review Math and Physics combined in three well written, thought provoking, Volumes. If you have the time, desire, plenty of paper, and patience, DR. Chris McMullen’s three volumes are worthy of review.

I already took AP physics 1 and 2, but not C. This book explained things really well and helped me further understand physics and calculus (I had no understanding of calculus previous to this).
Math ian –
I love this workbook. I bought it for my intro Physics class, and the explanations are so easy to follow to complete the exercises and it even improved my Algebra and Calculus skills, especially with derivatives, integrals and application word problems using calculus. I’m going to check if the authors have a series for Calculus, Chemistry, Computer Science and Engineering too!

I was surprised that it was in good condition.

The book is a basic introduction to calculus based physics.
Securityman –
I’ve bought all copies of these books as they are very well written indeed, by someone who really knows what they’re talking about. The author seems to have the knack of knowing just where students get stuck, and explains everything really clearly. There are also well written pages to help take your maths to the next level. These books should cost more, in my opinion, because the overall content and presentation is superb.

Has a good overview of a college level course
Logan –
This workbook is perfect if you’re struggling to grasp the wording or teaching of a regular textbook. It clearly lays out everything you need to know and goes into amazing detail. Every problem has the answer, not just the odd numbers, and on top of that they have all the steps included in those answer. I’d highly suggest this workbook, it has everything you need for physics and it’s a great price.
Dennis B –
Short but very good explanations, worked examples and fully worked problem sets. Great for a course or review. Good price
Jesse Turner –
Great book, heaps of information and value for under $30. Well worth it.

There is no way to really learn Physics without coming to grips with the math and the only way to come to grips with the math is to do problems. I was having some trouble understanding some of the concepts and problems in my 1500 page Physics book so my advisor recommended this resource. It’s phenomenal! It gives short and concise descriptions of the concepts, walks through several example problems by showing all steps, and then gives you several problems to do yourself. If you get stuck, the step-by-step solutions to your problems are in the back of the book. If you really want to understand the math problems in your calculus-based Physics course then this resource (and the other two volumes) is for you!
Mick –
For review and problem solving, not much on theory, but that’s not it’s purpose. I also own the author’s study guides for Diff EQ and Multivariate Calculus. The problems are worked out in great detail but can be uneven in level of difficulty, a real mixed bag. I purchased all of them to jump start my memory of courses taken many years ago and they are serving that purpose well.
Jorge –
Clear, easy to understand, has solutions, not TEDIOUS like other physics books.
Donncha –
I was planning to start tutoring and I needed a refresher. Also I need a study plan. This book was perfect.
Leo –
Concepts in electricity and magnetism where generally hard for me but this book has lots of worked examples which definitely helps you get a better grasp of more challenging concepts. As a freshman in highschool this is one of the best physics workbooks that I have ever come across and helped me prepare not only for my exams but for challenging topics in the physics Olympiad.
ROF –
Very well done. Shows how to do things from the start. Lays down the foundations and builds from that. Excellent examples and problems that explain everything clearly. Its great to be able to understand and learn. Highly recommended.
Robert –
The book simply tells you how to consider and tackle problems. First by introducing you to the concepts, then by example, and finally by practicing a few problems.
There are no trick questions and everything concept is explained. There are full solutions for every problem, every step of the mathematics is covered.
I’d recommend this to any student wanting to pursue physics at University as it will cover everything you’ll need in the 1st and most of the 2nd year for Electromagnetism.
Gabrielle S –
I’ll put it like this; DR.Chris McMullen, went to the store and got groceries, came to my house *PERSONALLY*, cooked and then chopped up and FED ME THE INFORMATION. If you get any physics book that works you through equations THIS IS THE ONE OK. I’ve never understood physics like I understand after working through this book. Excellent!! Thank you!!!!!!!!
Nicholas M –
Just loved Chris’s books and the way he explains just “clicks” in my head for me. Loved the book.
