There are databases of exam problems for most of the introductory physics and astrophysics courses, including
- 109: ASTRONOMY AND COSMOLOGY I: 1025 problems
- 110: ASTRONOMY AND COSMOLOGY II: 1515 problems
- 123: ANALYTICAL PHYSICS IA: 572 problems
- 124: ANALYTICAL PHYSICS IB: 739 problems
- 193: PHYSICS FOR THE SCIENCES: 203 problems
- 203: GENERAL PHYSICS: 1259 problems
- 204: GENERAL PHYSICS: 1616 problems
- 227: ANALYTICAL PHYSICS IIA: 681 MC and 66 numerical problems
- 228: ANALYTICAL PHYSICS IIB: 847 problems, some numerical
Course instructors and administrators should be in the
crsadmin group on the shell computers. This is necessary in order to have access to these files in the /home/crsadmin/compexams directory.
In addition, there are collections of problems not yet formed into a database, but accessible, for current courses 115, 116, 140, 161, 194, 201, 202, 271, 272, and and for defunct courses 111, 112.
If you are teaching one of these courses and want access to the database, send me an email. You will also get instructions for installing and using the database.
You might also want to look at the problems for another course, as they mostly overlap in what they cover.
Most of the databases have not yet been organized by topic.
