General Methods For Solving Physics Problems

In this post we will see another book in the Problems and Solutions book, namely, General Methods for Solving Physics Problems by B. S. Belikov About This book attempts to create systematic use of generalised methods , general methodological principles, and very general concepts in a segment of students instruction of vital importance, the solution of physics problems. The approach is based on the application of the most general concepts of physics to the solution of any problem. I consider the theoretical aspects underlying the general approach to problem solution and methods for solving standard, non-standard, non-specific, and general problems. The book was translated from the Russian by Eugene Yankovsky and was first published by Mir in 1989.
