Title Problems in Classical and Quantum Mechanics : Extracting the Underlying Concepts Author(s) Kelley, J. Daniel;Leventhal, Jacob J Publication Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2017. Description XVI, 368 p. 71 illus., 2 illus. in color : online resource Abstract Note This book is a collection of problems intended to aid students in their graduate courses in physics and in preparing for the PhD qualifying exam. Thus, the included problems are of the type that could be on a qualifying exam or are problems that are meant to elucidate a principle that is important for the exam. Unlike other compilations of problems, the problems in this text are placed in the broader context of the subject. The goal of the book is to develop the problem solving skills of the reader to insure a complete understanding of the physics. Problems and solutions are presented in detail, and, additionally, their significance is discussed within the context of the physical principle(s) that they illustrate. The solution of the problem is only the beginning of the learning process--it is in manipulating the solution and changing the parameters that a great deal of insight can be gleaned. This technique is referred to by the authors as "massaging the problem," and it is a technique that the authors have found to considerably increase the pedagogical value of any problem ISBN,Price 9783319466644 Keyword(s) 1.
