Higher physics demands fluency and ability in physical and
mathematical analysis that are not given prominence in school physics
syllabii. During the SPC we shall be developing both problem solving
skills and experimental techniques. In order to provide a common
assumed background we have prepared a set of questions based (roughly)
on the core AS-level syllabus. You may have already mastered all the
material, in which case this workbook will provide a useful set of
revision problems. However, if some of the material is new to you or
if you are uncertain about it or get stuck on any of the questions,
then we suggest that you refer to an appropriate A-level textbook.
These questions are selected and adapted from the University of
Cambridge Natural Sciences Tripos mathematics workbook:

workbook should be sent to spcphy@hermes.cam.ac.uk
