Aimed at helping the physics student to develop a solid grasp of
basic graduate-level material, this book presents worked solutions
to a wide range of informative problems. These problems have been
culled from the preliminary and general examinations created by the
physics department at Princeton University for its graduate
program. The authors, all students who have successfully completed
the examinations, selected these problems on the basis of
usefulness, interest, and originality, and have provided highly
detailed solutions to each one. Their book will be a valuable
resource not only to other students but to college physics teachers
as well. The first four chapters pose problems in the areas of
mechanics, electricity and magnetism, quantum mechanics, and
thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, thereby serving as a
review of material typically covered in undergraduate courses.
Later chapters deal with material new to most first-year graduate
students, challenging them on such topics as condensed matter,
relativity and astrophysics, nuclear physics, elementary particles,
and atomic and general physics.
