Thinking like a physicist : physics problems for undergraduates : a collection of problems and solutions
N. Thompson (Curatore scientifico), University of Bristol Department of Physics
This unique collection of problems and solutions, selected from examination and tutorial questions used in the University of Bristol, is the first book of its kind to address the art of problem solving in a truly constructive manner. The reader is encouraged to apply basic physical principles, judicious assumptions and approximations, and simplified models of complex situations, and to consider the limitations of the resulting solutions-in short, to 'think like a physicist'. The problems are taken from all branches of the subject, but many deal with topics that are essentially elementary, and should therefore be within the competence of undergraduates at all stages
