SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the search for problem sets related to the MIT 8.01X course, which features lectures by Walter Lewin. The user expresses a desire to practice physics concepts but lacks access to the textbook, specifically Ohanian's 1994 "Principles of Physics." Participants suggest utilizing resources such as the Yale open course "Fundamentals of Physics" by Ramamurti Shankar, which provides free access to assignments and video lectures online.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with MIT's 8.01X course content
  • Understanding of Ohanian's "Principles of Physics" textbook
  • Basic knowledge of physics problem-solving techniques
  • Access to online educational resources like YouTube and university course websites
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the Yale open course "Fundamentals of Physics" for free assignments and materials
  • Purchase or access Ohanian's 1994 "Principles of Physics" for reference
  • Watch Walter Lewin's lectures on YouTube for additional insights
  • Search for supplementary physics problem sets available online
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, educators seeking supplemental materials, and anyone interested in self-study of the MIT 8.01X course content.

Hello everyone,
i am currently bedridden and bored out of my mind , thus i have started to watch all of the Walter Lewin lectures that were removed from MIT's OCW(on youtube). Right now I'm doing 8.01X, the lectures are truly fascinating however all of the course work comes from a textbook that i do not own. I was wondering if anyone here had some problem sets that might go with this course. I would really love to freshen up my mind by doing some grunt work. anything really would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

yes however the assignments more often than not refer to the book used in the lectures. i was wondering if their was perhaps some free problems i could work through.
 
Lewin's lectures and assignments are from 1999. Thus, they refer to an older edition of Ohanian which should be quite inexpensive. I'm not 100% sure, but I think Lewin's assignments are from Ohanian's 1994 Principles of Physics.

As to the question you asked, Ramamurti Shankar's Yale open course Fundamentals of Physics has all of the assignments available online in the course materials at http://oyc.yale.edu/physics/phys-200. The video lectures are also available there and on YouTube.
