Selected Problems On Physics | S. P. Myasnikov, T. N. Osanova

The
main purpose of the book is to help those preparing for entrance
examinations to  engineering colleges in revisiing the high-school
physics course and in further studies at the college.

The
fourth edition of the book came out in 1981.  Amendments to the physics
curriculum at the high-school and polytechnic level have been
incorporated as well as extra material on other branches of the physics
course.  The 6Eth edition was prepared by taking into account the
modified style of problems set at the entrance examinations.

Each
section begins with a brief description of the basic theory, physical
laws, and formulas. This is followed by worked problems and a few
descriptive problems. Exercises and questions for revision are givena at
the end of each section. The problems are solved according to the
unified and optimal approach described in the introduction. By solving
the problems, students will acquire a firm theoretical background and
knowledge which will help them in their work in whichever sector of the
economy they will be employed. The appendices contain tables required
for solving problems, SI units of physical quantities. And the rules for approximate calculations.

 
In addition to the problems composed by the autbors this book also
includes a selection  of problems set for the aptitude tests and
entrance examination in physics at the N.E. Buaman Higher Technical
School and other technical institutios in Moscow.

  Intended
for students of preparatory courses at engineering colleges, this book
can also be used by high-school students, students of intermediate
colleges, and those interested in self-education.

  The author
is indebted to Prof. A.N. Remizov and Asst. Prof. N .V. Tygliyan for
their  enormous help in preparing the  manuscript for publication.

The book was translated from the Russian by Natalia Wadhwa and was first published by Mir in 1990.
