Seeking Exercises to Accompany Feynman's Lectures on Physics

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding exercise books to complement Feynman's "Lectures on Physics," which lacks exercises. One participant recommends "Physics for Scientists and Engineers" by Lawrence S. Lerner, noting that it effectively teaches the underlying physics, although it only provides solutions for odd-numbered problems and assumes a calculus background. Another suggestion is the "Problems and Solutions" series from World Scientific Publishing Company, though it may be more challenging. The original poster expresses gratitude for the recommendations and plans to use them alongside the lectures.

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

Hello, Saunderson.

It was of great kindness your answer about my question.

Thank you very much.

I'm going to use them to accompany my Lectures.

Till the next.

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!
This is part 2 of my thread Collection of Free Online Math Books and Lecture Notes Here, we will consider physics and mathematical methods for physics resources. Now, this is a work in progress. Please feel free comment regarding items you want to be included, or if a link is broken etc. Note: I will not post links to other collections, each link will point you to a single item. :book:📚📒 [FONT=trebuchet ms]Introductory college/university physics College Physics, Openstax...
