In summary, the conversation discusses finding a textbook for a physics course based on scanned problems included in a link. The recommendation is to visit the Oregon State University website and check the physics department section for the instructor's notes and references. However, it is noted that the webpage for the course may not be a reliable source for textbook recommendations.

Need help finding textbook -- see these scanned problems

Does anyone know the textbook(s) that the scanned problems in the link below are taken from?

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum.

It looks like the attachment was pasted together from several different sources.

I would suggest you go to the Oregon State University website and check the physics department section and see if you can find the instructor who assigned this HW. There may be additional references or notes there.

If you cut a couple of items off the URL you get to this page

http://www.physics.oregonstate.edu/~tgiebult/COURSES/ph441/

I assume it comes from the texts mentioned for the class but that could be wrong.

Of course when someone makes a webpage like that it's hard to take their textbook recommendations seriously :tongue2:
