Four segments of the Self-Paced Physics Course materials are presented in this problems and solutions book for use as the third part of student course work. The subject-matter topics are related to impulses, inelastic and elastic collisions, two-dimensional collision problems, universal constant of gravitation, gravitational acceleration and…

The second review segment of the Self-Paced Physics Course is presented in this volume and arranged to match study segments 19 through 40. The segment is divided into five subsegments, each of which is composed of a set of problems and solutions. A study guide is provided for each subsegment. The problem set is designed in a back-referencing…

A brief overview is given of the part of meteorology which deals with the circulation of the atmosphere. This is followed by eight illustrative application problems for mathematics classes. (MNS)

Outlines various misconceptions about problem-solving (PS) and several strategies to improve intellectual skills and strategies. Also describes the Covington Productive Thinking Program (designed to help develop PS skills) and several lesson problem sets from this series of 15 books. (JN)

This second part of a two-part article highlights some mathematics involved in the study of meteorology. Examples are given of the application of mathematics to the study of the atmosphere, with three problems discussed. (MNS)

This document provides computer programs, written in BASIC PLUS, for presenting fundamental or remedial college chemistry students with chemical problems in a computer assisted instructional program. Programs include instructions, a sample run, and 14 separate practice sessions covering: mathematical operations, using decimals, solving…

Presents a computational example of a quantum theory chemistry suitable for inclusion in an undergraduate physical chemistry course. (SL)

Reports on the use of videotape recordings illustrating experienced problem solvers working out solutions to typical introductory physics problems. Includes brief summaries of student response to the recordings. (SK)

It is suggested that short quizzes be given during the last ten minutes of lecture periods. Examples of the type of material that is recommended are presented. (BB)

This document contains various science problems which require a mathematical solution. The problems are arranged under two general areas. The first (algebra I) contains biology, chemistry, and physics problems which require solutions related to linear equations, exponentials, and nonlinear equations. The second (algebra II) contains physics…

Three review segments of the Self-Paced Physics Course materials are provided in this volume which is arranged to match study segments 1 through 14. Each of the three segments is composed of a set of problems and solutions, and accompanied by its own individual study guide. The problem set is designed as a back-referencing system, and the…

This workbook contains 50 undergraduate physics problems designed for use in conjunction with a computer in a time-sharing mode. Each of the problems includes a statement of the problem topic, a background description of the problem, problem objectives, suggested readings, and a related graph or figure. Various topics in general physics are…

Discusses the difference between a generic chemistry problem (one which can be solved using an algorithm) and a harder chemistry problem (one for which there is no algorithm). Encourages teachers to help students recognize these categories of problems so they will be better able to find solutions. (TW)

Presented are three physics problems from the New Zealand Entrance Scholarship examinations which are generally attempted by more able students. Problem situations, illustrations, and solutions are detailed. (CW)
