PHYS 1050 Homework Problems

Perhaps the most important thing that you will learn from this course is how to think logically and solve problems. This is an important skill that can be applied to any subsequent area of study. Solving problems yourself and discussing them with your instructor and your classmates is the best way to learn.

A list of recommended problems will be announced in lectures as the relevant material on which they are based is covered. These problems are also listed below for your convenience. You should solve all of these problems, attempting them as the material is discussed in the lecture videos. Be cautioned that reading solutions is no substitute for working them out yourself. If you have extra time, it is always advisable to work on additional problems from the textbook. 

The problem numbers presented below refer to the 10th and 9th Edition of HRW. (The X problems are in WileyPlus). Problem numbers in the 11th Edition are the same as that in the 10th Edition.

To help you check that you are solving the problems correctly, solutions to the 10th Edition Problems are made available. Using it only after you have had a chance to try the problems yourselves.
