This book will strengthen a student's grasp of the laws of physics by applying
them to practical situations, and problems that yield more easily to intuitive
insight than brute-force methods and complex mathematics. These intriguing
problems, chosen almost exclusively from classical (non-quantum) physics, are
posed in accessible non-technical language requiring the student to select the
right framework in which to analyse the situation and decide which branches of
physics are involved. The level of sophistication needed to tackle most of the
two hundred problems is that of the exceptional school student, the good
undergraduate, or competent graduate student. The book will be valuable to
undergraduates preparing for 'general physics' papers. It is hoped that even
some physics professors will find the more difficult questions challenging.
By contrast, mathematical demands are minimal, and do not go beyond elementary
calculus. This intriguing book of physics problems should prove instructive,
challenging and fun.
