Collected over twenty years of studying, teaching, and research, these problems range from gems taken from the classic literature to sticky issues we’ve seen in our own labs. Divided into four sections–Classic Mechanics, Statistical & Thermal Physics, Mathematical Physics, and Quantum Mechanics– this book will be useful for graduate students studying for quals or anyone trying to refine their problem-solving skills. All of the problems are accompanied by full, detailed solutions.

E-readers and distributors are not yet ready for MathML, but we offer you two options in the meantime!

(1) An epub and pdf are available through our webstore. The epub may be read on e-readers that support MathML, such as Calibre, Readium, or Azardi. The pdf may be read anywhere, or printed. The epub may also be unzipped and read on any browser. For the adventurous, we suggest embedding MathJax into the file to read on readers that support Java (if this works, just let us know!)

(2) Coming soon–iBooks author version for the iPad, from the Apple Store.
