Recent News

The book is currently in print, available, and shipping. The retail price should be slightly under $50. The ISBN is 0-201-38027-7; check the Addison-Wesley web site for ordering information.

A review of the book (by Harvey Gould of Clark University) has been published in the August 2000 issue of Physics Today. Another review (by John K. Pribram of Bates College) was published in the December 1999 issue of the American Journal of Physics.

A complete, 344-page solution manual, for instructors only, is available. Instructors can order it (ISBN 0-201-65680-9) through their local Addison-Wesley representatives, or through the Addison-Wesley web site. (If you have any trouble obtaining the manual, please let me know.)

Sometime soon, I hope to post a collection of further problems and worked examples on this web site. I would welcome contributions to this collection, as well as requests for worked examples on particular topics. Please send contributions and requests to .
