Subject: Extra Practice problems


HI Xiao - thanks for your question.

I have had to develop most of the problems myself, since they are not
available in more 'standard' texts.  Indeed you have identified most of
the places where they can be found.

For the old tests and exams, it is often obvious from which sections the
questions come from, so I do urge you to try them, even if,
occasionally, it will mean reading ahead.

For the pure physics problems, Knight is a good source - most are
appropriate.  I've suggested some in the Suggested Extra Problems.

I also intend to add  a few problems 'for practice only' to the MP
problem sets - most are problems that I set in previous years.  I've
also added one to the written problem set, as you'll see when it is posted.

I've also asked Dr Savaria to post the solutions to the 2003-04 problem sets
which were missing - so you should be able to access them soon, along with
the  others for 2004-05, 2005-06,2006-07 - which are already there.

Finally,don't hesitate to drop by in my office hours, or make an
appointment so we can discuss any difficulties you might be having.
