Seeking Exercises to Accompany Feynman's Lectures on Physics

In summary, the conversation is about finding exercise books to accompany Lectures on Physics by Feynman. The suggested books are Physics for Scientists and Engineers by Lawrence S. Lerner and the "Problems and Solutions" series published by World Scientific Publishing Company. The books can be found on books.google.com and may be challenging but helpful for understanding the physics behind the exercises.

Hello, everyone

I began reading Lectures on Physics from Feynman. But there is a problem: Those books haven't exercises. Can anyone tell me a (several) book(s) of exercises solved and proposed (with solutions) to accompany those Lectures step by step?

Thank you very much for your help.

Good day

Hi,

i like the problems/exercises in the book

Physics for Scientists and Engineers, Lawrence S. Lerner, Jones & Bartlett Publishers

i think they teach good the physics behind the exercises, though only the solutions of the odd numbered problems are given. In addition they only take calculus for granted.

Other good "problems" books you will find in the "Problems and Solutions"-series published by "World Scientific Publishing Company". But maybe to challenging for your purpose.

For both, you can take an insight at books.google.com!

with best regards
