lol. i see some pretty firy opinions up there (*cough #9 cough*).
i used serway/faughn for physics B but used Halliday/Resnick/Walker's Fundamentals of Physics for physics C. i thought the first one was a good introductory textbook while the latter was exhaustive in calculus-based basic college physics. i self-studied for physics C last year. I started in late February after i came back from HMMT and did all the odd problems after the chapters. i finished in mid-april and then barely looked over barrons guide before taking the exams. i got two 5s, so in my opinions, halliday's book is pretty awesome.
