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.
The absolute, complete, and total balance to life with can be used
to govern one's self. A guide on how to be a good person and how
not to be a bad person.
This set consists of the third edition of this highly acclaimed
undergraduate textbook and its solutions manual containing complete
worked solutions to half of the problems. Suitable for teaching all
the mathematics for an undergraduate course in any of the physical
sciences, the text provides lucid descriptions of all the topics,
many worked examples, and over 800 exercises. New stand-alone
chapters give a systematic account of the 'special functions' of
physical science, cover an extended range of practical applications
of complex variables, and give an introduction to quantum
operators. Further tabulations, of relevance in statistics and
numerical integration, have been added. In this edition, the
remaining exercises have no hints, answers or worked solutions and
can be used for unaided homework; full solutions are available to
instructors on a password-protected web site,
www.cambridge.org/9780521679718.
