Like its predecessor, 200 Puzzling Physics Problems, this book is
aimed at strengthening students' grasp of the laws of physics by
applying them to situations that are practical, and to problems
that yield more easily to intuitive insight than to brute-force
methods and complex mathematics. The problems are chosen almost
exclusively from classical, non-quantum physics, but are no easier
for that. They are intriguingly posed in accessible non-technical
language, and require readers to select an appropriate analysis
framework and decide which branches of physics are involved. The
general level of sophistication needed is that of the exceptional
school student, the good undergraduate, or the competent graduate
student; some physics professors may find some of the more
difficult questions challenging. By contrast, the mathematical
demands are relatively minimal, and seldom go beyond elementary
calculus. This further book of physics problems is not only
instructive and challenging, but also enjoyable.
