Re: [Phys-L] calc probs for physics

Does anyone have a favorite resource from which they select
calc-based problems for physics students?

That's a good question, for which there are some good answers.
For starters, the Leighton/Vogt exercises are awesome.

I quote from
http://www.amazon.com/Feynmans-Tips-Physics-Reflections-Problem-Solving/dp/0465027970

_Feynman's Tips on Physics_ is a delightful collection of insights
and an essential companion to his legendary _Feynman Lectures on
Physics_.

With characteristic flair, insight, and humor, Feynman discusses
topics physics students often struggle with and offers valuable tips
on addressing them. Included here are three lectures on
problem-solving and a lecture on inertial guidance omitted from The
Feynman Lectures on Physics. An enlightening memoir by Matthew Sands
and oral history interviews with Feynman and his Caltech colleagues
provide firsthand accounts of the origins of Feynman's landmark
lecture series.

*Also included are incisive and illuminating exercises originally*
*developed to supplement The Feynman Lectures on Physics*
