From the Publisher

This stand-alone collection of problems is suitable for use with any calculus-based physics text. Developed and class-tested over two years, these problems give students practice applying the central concepts (not "plug and Chug" drill problems) and are accompanied by solutions that discuss in detail the relevant concepts and problem-solving skills, solutions explain the material intuitively. Also includes review problem sets, practice midterms and finals, and access to Interactive Physics Simulations for many of the problems. Via the Berkeley Web Site. Volume I covers Mechanics, Volume II covers electricity and magnetism.²

This review is from: Portable TA: A Physics Problem Solving Guide, Volume I (Portable Ta Vol. 1) (v. 1) (Paperback)
Explained everything to me clearly. Did so much more then my prof. at Berkeley. I was alone and scared in the dark, but with the guidance of Mr. Elby, I was able to see the light. ANDREW ELBY IS MY HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, April 25, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Portable TA: A Physics Problem Solving Guide, Volume I (Portable Ta Vol. 1) (v. 1) (Paperback)
I'm taking AP Physics C in high school and this has proven to be a valuable book. It takes time to do the problems and read his solutions. But it's worth the time. Helps you built intution.
