The ‘‘New Problems’’ department presents interesting, novel problems for use in undergraduate physics courses beyond the introductory level. We will publish worked problems that convey the excitement and interest of current developments in physics and that are useful for teaching courses such as Classical Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics, Modern Physics, or Quantum Mechanics. We challenge physicists everywhere to create problems that show how their various branches of physics use the central, unifying ideas of physics to advance physical understanding. We want these problems to become an important source of ideas and information for students of physics. This project is supported by the Physics Division of the National Science Foundation. Submit materials to Charles H. Holbrow, Editor.
