This review guide is NOT sorted or made unique - it is the simple union of all the problems in my problem repository. Some problems that I give ``a lot'' (such as Maxwell's Equations) may be represented many times. Others may occur only once. To a certain extent this reflects their frequency of occurrence and hence the weight I give to the material being tested. This can be used as a clue for how best to spend your limited study time - if something is here three or four times in various forms it is a good idea to know how to do it. If it is here only once, you might get a way without knowing it, although of course you should try not to have to take that sort of risk.

Note well that I always make up a new problem or two for just about any exam I give, so this list is not and cannot be totally complete. Still, if you can do all of these problems you are likely to be able to do any of the new problems I make up (or at least do as well as any students on those problems).

This whole course emphasizes problem solving and derivation as a route to a deep conceptual understanding of the material. By the time you can work all of these problems quickly you will be well on your way to true mastery of the material.

Enjoy!
