Schaum's 3,000 Solved Problems in Physics

This is an excellent resource for any student who needs to practice school or university level physics problems. A vast amount of material is covered and, although I will probably only attempt a fraction of the 3000 problems, it's reassuring to know that when I am struggling to tackle a physics problem this book should contain a similar problem. I also like the style of the book with the answer to each problem being located just underneath the problem itself - this saves lots of time. SI units are used for the most part. The answers themselves usually include some explanation which is helpful. There are numerous, helpful diagrams. Of the problems I have tackled so far there been any errors. Just a warning about the production quality - the paper is the recycled variety so looks and feels pretty cheap and the font size is quite small.

This book has many exercises in it, with the workings underneath. These questions are of different levels of difficulty. It looks truly amazing. Unfortunately, I barely used it during my physics degree. Personally, whenever I got stuck, I always found it more straight forward to refer to my course books, or to look up tips etc. online than to refer to this book. So, I can confirm this book makes a decent paper weight, or a door stopper too.

Lots of problems relatively well explained however many are quite straight forward and involve not much past putting numbers into an equation however there were some good ones and I belive it's still good to practise the basics.

I bought this for my second year Math's & Physics degree (OU S217) and it's a great revision aide and source of additional questions. Highly Recommended.

good...but late delivery. the book looks good. every problem is discussed and hopefully fulfill my job. this book is very good who will take physics gre

you may not always understand every example and there is perhaps a better way to solve it - but you will always learn a trick or two from 3000 solved problems in physics.

Would really like to get the book that covers this Physics module so that I could cross reference the questions

he pages are very thin almost like tracing paper - this was not unexpected for the price - but the cover is good and protective. It is a good reference for questions to use as a teaching aid and test yourself.

The physics problems in this book will make your brain hurt in A GOOD WAY. These problems are really good to test yourself. It will reveal your strengths and weaknesses and I love that because you need to do that to yourself. You must test yourself. Even when I went to do problems in this book On a subject that thought I really understood , I found myself Really stretching the way I had to think. And what’s good about this book is that they give you a lot of problems, and all those problems are asked in different ways. It makes you have to see things from different angles, but ultimately these problems in this book just are for practice. They do give you the solutions and explain the answers in each question, but regardless these problems will make you think and that’s when mastery becomes your skill. My only critique on this book is that when your calculating an answer, the book will round up more often than not. So if I get a number, for example, 88.36 The book will say 89.0 It’s not really a problem. It’s just something I noticed because I thought I was getting wrong answers, but then I realized that the book was just rounding up answers. So it’s all good. I highly recommend this book to sharpen your skills , go back and test yourself , See where you stand , and there’s a lot of problems that will help you. That’s my experience.

Muy útil. De lo mejor en colecciones de problemas. Otro Schaum imprescindible.

Thank you! All went again very well.

Carinissimo.... Ottima guida per l'insegnamento... Fisica 1 e 2 e cenni di fisica moderna e relatività in un unico testo. Che volere di più?

Very Good book for development of concepts. Good for IITJEE and IITJAM. Not fully exhaustive. You will need other books. But this is worth to have.
