Reddit mentions of Introduction to Classical Mechanics: With Problems and Solutions

Morin is the way to go. https://www.amazon.com/Problems-Solutions-Introductory-Mechanics-David/dp/1482086921 It has a lot of very good problems of nice difficulty (but not too difficult). Detailed solutions are given to all problems. I highly recommend this book to any physics student. Every single person I recommended this too ended up loving the book and learning a lot.
If you are interested in very difficult, sadistic problems, then the other Morin book is nice: https://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Classical-Mechanics-Problems-Solutions/dp/0521876222/ This contains theory too and detailed soolutions to half the problems.

You could try Morin's book...I haven't read it but I hear it's quite good, and it's got lots of problems with complete solutions. It might be at a slightly higher level than some first year classes, though.

Introduction to Classical Mechanics: With Problems and Solutions is one of the best books when it comes to problems in classical mechanics.

Problems in General Physics is pretty famous as well for general physics. This one is russian, perhaps the one you're looking for.


Though, I have to warn you... these books have some very difficult problems, and these take a lot of time and effort to solve.

Don't feel as if you're inadequate because you can't solve them immediately, or that you needed help to do so. The patience you gain from trying to solve these problems is also part of the learning experience. Some problems you might take one day, some you might take one week... There are books (not these) with problems that takes years to solve.

(of course, I'm not assuming you're going to completely devote yourself to a single problem. You'll also learn to skip the problem if you can't immediately solve it)

I am using Conquering the Physics GRE as an overview, but I really enjoy anything from David Morin and David J. Griffiths for the level of questions and explanations (and in-book/online solutions manuals that go a long way towards showing you how to think like a physicist). But my "library" for preparing for the physics GRE is:

CM: Morin, Problems and Solutions in Introductory Mechanics and Introduction to Classical Mechanics

Gregory, Classical Mechanics for extra explanations and problems

EM: Griffiths, Introduction to Electrodynamics 3e

QM: Griffiths, Introduction to Quantum Mechanics 3e

Thermo/Stat.Mech: Schroeder, An Introduction to Thermal Physics

Kittel and Kroemer, Thermal Physics

Waves: Morin, on his website are ten chapters to what appears to be a Waves book in the making

http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~djmorin/waves/

Atomic, Lab Methods: Conquering the Physics GRE and any online resources I can find.

If you email Case Western, they send a link to some amazing flash cards!

My reason is because I've been teaching myself linear algebra during the summer and thought it might be a good idea to practice my new skills in physics.

Edit: I hadn't thought about re examining classical mechanics from a more advanced perspective. To confirm the textbooks you're talking about is this Morin and this Taylor?

There's a book entitled "Introduction to Classical Mechanics". It's aimed at the beginner and has some fun little problems.

Or, there's "Problem and Solutions on Mechanics" which is a little more dry, but a nice refresher on mechanics for students.
