About This Book
Invaluable for teachers and learners alike, this book takes an imaginative approach to classical physics topics like mechanics, thermodynamics, electrodynamics, magnetism and optics. With this carefully-compiled collection of exercises, undergraduates and talented high-school students can gain a deeper comprehension of the ideas necessary to creatively apply the laws of physics. The book grew out of the idea that teaching should not aim for the merely routine, but should challenge pupils and stretch their abilities through thorough understanding. Accessible language, detailed solutions and fun, practical applications requiring only elementary calculus make these 300 problems a refreshing method of instruction.
Readership:
This collection will be useful to students aged 14-19, as well as to teachers of high school physics.
