Problem books in Physics

Mir also published a number of Problem Books in Physics and Mathematics. In this post we will looking at problem books in Physics. The most famous of these in India is the one by Irodov. Problems in General Physics is an indepensible book for those who are trying to get through to touch exams. So popular is the book that many Solutions to the book have been publised, which discuss the problems when they are solved.

The typical format the books have two sections:

1. Questions and problems

2. Solutions to Problems

Sometimes the solutions are discussed, as how to arrive at them and what is the significance, but for simpler problems [simple according to the authors] only the numerical values are given.  Here is a list of the problem books that I know of [was helped by a friend in compiling this list]

S. P. Myasnikov, T. N. Osanova

Solving Physics Problems

Exploring New Thinking Paradigms

by Yipeng Gu

“Solving problems in physics is time-consuming, challenging, yet highly rewarding. It is an efficient way to master physics. Dr. Gu is an expert and has been coaching in this field for almost 20 years. This remarkable book is the crystallization of his talent and longterm effort. It provides a featured thinking paradigm and systematic analysis on plenty of models, making it distinguished from other popular books. By reading this book, you may develop problem-solving skills and also gain confidence on physics theories.” Prof. Fawei Zheng, Beijing Institute of Technology, China

• Description

This book provides a complete, self-consistent, and open system for studying physics problems, which not only provides high-quality teaching materials for the field of physics education (especially for physics Olympiad training) but also points out a new direction for physics education. In this book, a form of methodology, which can comprehensively present cogitation discipline, is built up for analyzing and solving complex physics problems. The text analyzes plenty of physics problems (classical mechanics) from both theoretical and philosophical points of view to reveal the way of exerting this form. As a set of methodology reflecting the cogitation discipline, the thinking paradigm proposed in this book (called the MLQ-(ST)C paradigm) is a theoretical tool to cultivate people to acquire this ability. The paradigm successfully deconstructs the elements and the structure in physical thinking and then eliminates the obstacles of people’s underlying thinking, so that all the thinking built on it can be clear and ordered. The physics problems included in this book are much more difficult than similar books within the same theoretical domains involved, leading to better teaching and learning value.

Yipeng Gu obtained his PhD in condensed matter physics in 2014 from Jilin University, China. He teaches physics at the School of Natural Science, Changchun University of Science and Technology, China. Dr. Gu’s research interests span the philosophy of physics, theory of physics education, and the innovation and development of physics models. He is an experienced coach for Physics Olympiad and has taught basic courses of college physics and topic courses of physics competition for students who participated in the Chinese Physics Olympiad in Jilin Province, China. His students have won prizes in various levels of physics competitions, including six gold medals in the final contest of Chinese Physics Olympiad.
