Physics: Learn to Solve Problems on Your Own

The textbook is a collection of original problems, compiled in full accordance with the school physics curriculum. The feature of the publication is the problem-solving procedure that develops students' ability to think independently. Most of the problems are based on real observations and situations, allowing students to easily visualize the conditions. The first part of the textbook contains the main formulas and definitions by topics, problem conditions, and guidelines for solving them, which analyze the 'physics' of the problem and discuss the necessary formulas from a brief summary at the beginning of the chapter. This 'almost independent' problem-solving approach is particularly useful at the beginning of the preparation, when a student needs to overcome self-doubt. As their engagement with the subject matter increases, the complexity and variety of problems rise to the highest level of physical and technical developments, marked by recent Nobel Prizes. The second part of the textbook provides a detailed analysis of each problem. The publication is aimed at targeted preparation for the unified state exam (USE) at school and the additional entrance examination (DVI) when applying to a higher education institution in the engineering and physics field. It may also be of interest to teachers, as it points out some inaccuracies in known school physics problem books.
