با سلام
امروز کتابی که قصد دارم معرفی کنم، کتابی
است با عنوان GRE Physics (REA) - The Best Test Prep for the GRE (Test
Preps) . کتابهای GRE مربوط به امتحانات ورودی دانشگاه های
آمریکا هستند که شامل تست هایی در زمینه رشته تحصیلی مورد درخواست هستند. این کتاب
تست فیزیک برای امتحان GRE
است. کسانی که علاقه مند به ادامه تحصیل در دانشگاه های آمریکا هستند، حتما این
امتحان را می دهند.
امروز این کتاب را پیدا کردم و اون رو تقدیم
به همه دانشجویان فیزیک ایران می کنم برای دستیابی به سطح آمادگی لازم .
با تشکر

Book Description:
This test
preparation book includes four full-length exams with detailed explanations
modeled after the actual GRE in Physics. Knowledge of mechanics,
electromagnetism, atomic physics, physicoptics and wave phenomena, quantum
mechanics, special relativity, thermodynamics and statistical mechanics,
laboratory methods, and advanced topics tested. Includes a general physics
review of all topics tested on the exam. For physics students bound for
graduate school.
Summary: Horrible
Book
Rating: 1
Many of the answers
they provide are simply wrong. The content does not match the actual Physics
GRE material.
Summary: Really
good
Rating: 5
This book covers a
lot of material.
There's much even a
bright undergraduate student in Physics is not expected to have studied or ever
encountered.
But so goes the GRE
exam too, to a lesser extent.
This can be
somewhat annoying for those who are accustomed to quickly and easily going
through problem sets.
However, provided
you accept working on the exercises of this book as something which will add to
your background and "enlightment", not merely as exercises that will
test how well you master the minimal physics background every would-be graduate
student is expected to be well acquainted with, you will greatly benefit from
this book.
Summary: Some of
the answers are wrong

And simple math
answers too. For example, (1/2)(2/3) = ? They say it's 1/6. I'm of the opinion
that it's actually 1/3. That's just one of several I've ran across.
Still, it's better
than nothing, but I think looking at your old college textbooks and doing the
ETS questions is probably a better route.

Hmmm I don't
understand why there is so much negativity about this.
I think the point
is to get
I have only looked
at a couple problems so far. One of them had a problem where u had to solve a
VERY involved quadratic equation. Not that this is particularly hard to do. But
it could easily take like 20 minutes to do by hand. Maybe ten minutes if
We'll see how it
goes.
Summary: This book
annoys me.

I can point out
many reasons why this book must never be bought. The main two are
. The review is ridiculously basic. At least, here in Brasil,
every high school student knows 70-80% of everything that is written there.
. There are lots of errors through the tests. Sometimes the
questions are wrong, sometimes the choices are wrong, others the resolution is
wrong. And believe me, there are cases where all three are simultanously wrong.
