Exercises In Introductory Physics

Exercises for use with vol. I of the Feyman lectures in physics

This project book contains 24 detailed computational modules based on Mathematica.

Feynman's Tips on Physics is a delightful collection of Richard P. Feynman's insights and an essential companion to his legendary Feynman Lectures on Physics With characteristic flair, insight, and humor, Feynman discusses topics physics students often struggle with and offers valuable tips on addressing them. Included here are three lectures on problem-solving and a lecture on inertial guidance omitted from The Feynman Lectures on Physics. An enlightening memoir by Matthew Sands and oral history interviews with Feynman and his Caltech colleagues provide firsthand accounts of the origins of Feynman's landmark lecture series. Also included are incisive and illuminating exercises originally developed to supplement The Feynman Lectures on Physics, by Robert B. Leighton and Rochus E. Vogt. Feynman's Tips on Physics was co-authored by Michael A. Gottlieb and Ralph Leighton to provide students, teachers, and enthusiasts alike an opportunity to learn physics from some of its greatest teachers, the creators of The Feynman Lectures on Physics.

Combined into one volume for the first time, the updated and clarified Exercises for the Feynman Lectures on Physics provides comprehensive, hands-on practice in all the most important areas of physics—from Newtonian mechanics through the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. A perfect complement to The Feynman Lectures on Physics, these exercises have all been assigned in Caltech's mandatory two-year introductory physics course, either when Richard Feynman was teaching it, or during the nearly two decades that followed when The Feynman Lectures on Physics was used as the textbook. With this modern, easy-to-use volume, students of physics will have a chance to apply what they have learned in the Lectures and to enhance and reinforce the concepts taught by the inimitable Richard Feynman.

* Active learning exercises integrated throughout: Case Studies, Stop & Think, On-the-Spot Activities, etc. * Numerous worked-out examples, many of which have expanded, interactive web versions in which students may participate. * Emphasis on conceptual understanding as the key to quantitative problem solving. * Careful attention to use of language, story line, visual imagery, and active reflection as means to student understanding. * Text supported by extensive author-developed web-based interactive exercises. * WileyPLUS * Student-friendly illustrations and design. * End-of-chapter problem sets that evaluate both qualitative and quantitative understanding.
