The third volume of a three volume study of the development and effectiveness of a computer-assisted instruction (CAI) course in undergraduate Physics contains the CAI curriculum. It is broken up into two parts, that is the 1500 CAI course and the problem sets presented via the 1440 computer. For a background and summary of the project see volume…

Presents the second in a series of articles in which problems related to introductory physics courses are presented. The twenty problems deal with nearly all aspects of physics and are presented in a practical and thought-provoking manner. (RR)
