We now come to the much anticipated “Problem Books” series and start with Problems in Physics by V. Zubov and V. Shalnov. This will be a good material for those who are preparing for Olympiads and other competitive exams.
For the most part, this is a collection of modified problems
discussed in extracurricular circles and at tutorials and
Olympiads at the Moscow University.
In selecting and preparing the problems for this collection
the authors attempted to focus the attention of the reader
on those postulates and laws of physics where students make
the most mistakes. Some problems were specially selected
to explain comprehensively the application of the most
important laws – something which students often fail to
grasp properly. A number of problems concern the subjects
usually omitted in secondary school text-book problems.
Some problems are intended for discussion in extracurricular
circles or for independent study by those wishing to
acquaint themselves with material beyond the scope of the
school syllabus.
The most difficult problems and the problems outside
the scope of the secondary school syllabus are provided
with detailed explanations in order to give the student
a better understanding of the general principles of solution.
With this end in view, some sections are also supplemented
with brief information about the most frequent mistakes
and the simplest means of solution.
The book was translated from the Russian by A. N. Troitsky and the translation was edited
by J. B. Williams. Mir Publishers published this book first time in 1974 with a second reprint in 1985. The link below is for the second print.
