Book of Physics Homework Problems

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding physics problem books and resources suitable for different high school physics courses, including an introductory applied physics course, an algebra-based AP Physics B course, and a calculus-based AP Physics C course. The original poster expresses frustration with the lack of satisfactory resources found through online searches and seeks alternatives to traditional textbooks, intending to use them primarily for homework problems. A suggestion is made to explore a specific book from Light and Matter, which contains exercises that may be beneficial for the AP Physics C and possibly AP Physics B classes.

I'm a physics teacher. Do you know of any available physics problem books or sources (free or otherwise) for:

* intro level, lite-algebra high school applied physics course
* standard high school algebra-based physics course (AP Physics B)
* standard high school calc-based physics course (AP Physics C)

I've google'd around a bit and can't find anything satisfactory.

I want to transition away from using textbooks for everything except homework problems.

Thank you.

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!

Thread 'How is Jackson’s Electrodynamics taught during undergraduate?'

I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
