<p>Hey, I was just wondering where I could download some Caltech problem sets. I remember someone mentioning a website earlier where they were available, but I can't seem to find it right now. I would just use the MIT problem sets but Ben Golub mentioned that MIT's curriculum was easier than Caltech's, so I'm 'disinclined' to use them.</p>
<p>Just go to the Caltech website and search for the specific class. Problem sets for some classes are on their website.</p>
<p>I don't think Ben ever said that the curriculum at MIT was easier. He might have said the core requirements were easier--MIT students don't have to take quantum mechanics to get a degree. </p>
<p>We have several different versions of the intro math/physics classes, the most important being the regular and theoretical versions. 8.012/8.022 are the two physics classes that are super-theoretical, and they use the Kolenkow and Purcell textbooks, respectively. 18.014 and 18.024 are the versions of calculus where you prove everything rigorously. I think these are less useful than 8.012/8.022, though. </p>
<p>(The regular versions of physics and calculus are 8.01/8.02 and 18.01/18.02, respectively.)</p>
