Summary

This extensive collection of problems is suitable for self-study or tutorial and group work. The problems draw together the core elements of an undergraduate physics degree and provide students with the problem solving skills needed for "general physics" examinations and for real-life situations encountered by the professional physicist.

Physics to a Degree Summary

Physics to a Degree by E.G. Thomas (University of Leicester, UK)

Physics to a Degree provides an extensive collection of problems suitable for self-study or tutorial and group work at the level of an undergraduate physics course. This novel set of exercises draws together the core elements of an undergraduate physics degree and provides students with the problem solving skills needed for general physics' examinations and for real-life situations encountered by the professional physicist. Topics include force, momentum, gravitation, Bernoulli's Theorem, magnetic fields, blackbody radiation, relativistic travel, mechanics near the speed of light, radioactive decay, quantum uncertainty, and much more.
