Physics to a Degree

This extensive collection of problems is suitable for self-study or tutorial and group work at the level of an undergraduate physics course.

This novel set of problems draws together the core elements of an undergraduate physics degree.

It also provides students with the problem solving skills needed for 'general physics' examinations and for real-life situations encountered by the professional physicist.
