I generated the book’s material during the first dozen times I taught Harvard’s introductory mechanics course (Physics 15a). Most of the problems are from old exams and problem sets. Each chapter has a short introduction, then a set of multiple-choice questions, and then a set of longer free-response problems. Detailed solutions to all questions/problems are included.

While the book is calculus-based, it can also easily be used in algebra-based courses. The problems that require calculus (only a sixth of the total number) are listed in an appendix, allowing students to steer clear of those if they wish.
This book (the blue book) is written for a more general audience than Introduction to Classical Mechanics (the red book). The blue-book problems are similar to the one-star and two-star problems in the red book. The red book contains many harder problems and more advanced topics. The blue book can be viewed as a stepping stone to the red book.
Side note: If you know of any middle school or high school students (or eager elementary school students) who are learning algebra, they might enjoy my new Algebra book!
