Originally designed as a paperback book (ISBN 1442188219), it's now available as an e-book in print replica format. Use pinch-and-zoom for a better view. This is book is a collection of creative physics problems. No examples or solutions are provided, as this volume of physics problems is intended to be used in conjunction with a textbook. Like textbook problems, answers to selected questions are provided. This can be useful for (i) teachers who are looking for engaging problems to assign or use as examples and (ii) diligent self-learners who are willing to work for the answer and possibly rework the problem a few times (which can be a rewarding strategy in the long run, but does not suit many of today’s students who want the information simply injected into their brains). These imaginative problems are designed to: engage the interest of students in this difficult subject, add a little zest to abstract concepts like angular momentum, and challenge students to apply the concepts to involved problems. This includes many instructive problems that force students to think through key concepts (like collisions where students calculate the lost mechanical energy), problems with conceptual questions (e.g. why a ball actually rolls farther up an incline in the presence of friction than it does sliding without friction), and review problems grouped by a theme (such as one about a chimp who stole physics à la the Grinch). Involved problems are included to build fluency in the major problem-solving strategies, like combining conservation of energy and momentum. Many problems are broken down into parts to help guide students along – that is, you can check your answer to part (a) before moving onto part (b).

From the Author WHAT STUDENTS LIKEMany students say that they enjoy the monkey-based problems and the imagination displayed in these problem sets. A few even admitted to laughing out loud while reading them. Groups of students have been known to get together just to read the problems late at night. Independent students appreciate the challenge of the harder problems to make you think, and the convenience of the answer to many problems at the back of the book. Some high school students in AP physics found these problems to provide helpful practice.More math and science books by Chris McMullen, Ph.D.Popular science:

About the Author Chris McMullen is a physics instructor at Northwestern State University of Louisiana. He earned his Ph.D. in phenomenological high-energy physics (particle physics) from Oklahoma State University in 2002. Originally from California, he earned his Master's degree from California State University, Northridge, where his thesis was in the field of electron spin resonance. He has published several papers on the prospects for discovering large superstring-inspired extra dimensions at the Large Hadron Collider. The author has been making creative homework, quiz, and exam problems to engage and challenge physics students for several years, which have been compiled together in these volumes.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. An excellent collection of physics problems By Nomad As a high school physics teacher I am always on the lookout for new physics problems to give my students. Chris McMullen's collection of problems is an excellent resource. The problem's in McMullen's book differ from a traditional physics textbook's problems in that they are indeed creatively presented. Most physics textbooks have very dry problems. McMullen's problems are presented with a bit of humor. Almost all of the problems revolve around monkeys, chimps, apes, or related primates participating in physics shenanigans. There are monkey olympics, sumo wrestling orangutans, a physics grinch, and Dr. Seuss analogies. All-in-all a superb collection or problems for a high school physics teacher.
