Hello!

I'm very bad in Physics when it comes to making calculations and using formulas and answering that type of questions...
Majority of the physics books I get mostly focus on the concepts and explanations rather than the calculations...

I was wondering if you any of you guys know of any Physics exercise books (elementary to intermediate level) which has plenty of worked examples and exercises.

I'm studying basic physics (Mechanics & Waves in particular) but I really need to improve my skills in calculations and I need to be familiar with different types of questions. And what I really need is an effective exercise book so I can get loads of practice.

I'll appreciate your recommendations...

Thanks.

Regards,
