Physics textbooks...!?

Question

I have ' Intermediate 2 Physics with Answers ' published by Hodder - but it is the first edition. Does anyone know whether it is compatible with the second edition? I mean is it the same info or completely different - please help!

Answer 1

Publishers update textbooks regularly, so a particular edition is usually only good for two semesters, three at most.  It is an economic issue for the most part.  Can you pass the course with the edition you have, probably, but there are things you will miss and the instructor may be bound to only information in the current edition.  I don't think the data has changed much, but there are topic changes and will cause you a bit of pain trying to match what to study for exams.  Good luck.
