Book Overview
University of Chicago Graduate Problems in Physics covers a broad range of topics, from simple mechanics to nuclear physics. The problems presented are intriguing ones, unlike many examination questions, and physical concepts are emphasized in the solutions. Many distinguished members of the Department of Physics and the Enrico Fermi Institute at the University of Chicago have served on the candidacy examination committees and have, therefore, contributed to the preparation of problems which have been selected for inclusion in this volume. Among these are Morrell H. Cohen, Enrico Fermi, Murray Gell-Mann, Roger Hildebrand, Robert S. Mulliken, John Simpson, and Edward Teller.

A decent study aid
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This book is not as useful to me as the Major American Universities Ph.D. Qualifying Questions and Solutions books, however it still provides adequate examples of problems in most of the major disciplines within the field of physics. The book is organized such that the problems are presented in the first ~half of the book, and the rest of the book is dedicated to detailed solutions. I would prefer that problems and solutions be printed together on the same page, however this setup is satisfactory.
Excellent Qual Exam Prep

This book provides excellent qualifying exam preparation. The book is a book of qual exam problems organized by subject. Solutions are provided at the end. I found it very well organized and very helpful in getting past the qualifying exams. I first went through the "Review of Undergraduate Physics" by Hamermesh to get myself up to speed, then hit this book. It was great preparation for the real thing. I am now buying both books for my students.
