Due to concerns over copyright infringement, the old physicspages site containing solutions to problems from textbooks has been discontinued. I will gradually repopulate the site with articles on general aspects of physics and mathematics, but without any specific solutions to problems from various textbooks.
The site is fairly technical, in that I use whatever mathematics is required to explain the various topics. It is most useful to those who are either taking a structured course at a university or online, or to those who are working through a topic on their own. Although I've tried to make most articles self-contained, there is no substitute for a good textbook and/or an organized course. As such, I'd strongly recommend you buy a textbook and use that as your primary source. There are also many good courses available online for free at such sites as edX and coursera. There is also a large collection of lectures on several areas of physics given by Leonard Susskind on his Theoretical Minimum site.
If you're seeking help on some topic in physics that isn't covered here, you may find Physics Forums or Physics Stack Exchange helpful. Note that these sites do expect you to show that you've made some effort to solve the problem on your own before asking for help.
As always, comments and error reports are welcome, and can be sent to me at the comments blog. I also welcome suggestions as to what areas of physics and mathematics readers would find most useful. Keep in mind that my expertise is quite limited, and I am certainly no authority on either physics or mathematics. In general, I'm limited to topics found in undergraduate physics courses, although I have made tentative forays into quantum field theory and general relativity.

To search physicspages, enter your search terms in the Custom Search box below. In the results, the top links may be ads, so just ignore them. This will search only within the physicspages site, so if you want an internet-wide search, use your usual search page. At the moment, most of the results returned by this search will probably be to the old site where the pages no longer exist, so this search facility will be of limited use for a while. Sorry about that.
