Homework/Past Paper Solutions:
These are my own solutions to selected problem sets and past papers of the Oxford MPhys course (Years 1-3) and the MMathPhys course from the years 2014 to 2018
My solutions are NOT guaranteed to be correct, and probably not as good as your own. Also some of the problem sets are outdated. But I am sure that this page will still serve as a good learning resource. Good luck!
Oxford MPhys Year 1 (Prelims):
Classical Mechanics (2014/15)
-Problems: PS0 / PS1 / PS2 / PS3 / PS4 / PS5 / PS6
(Note that the 2014 version of the problem sheets from PS 3 to 6 are missing, so I insteaded posted the 2017 version. The order of some questions is thus not exactly the same as that of the solution files. But if you look carefully you can find where the solutions to each problem are, just maybe not with the correct question number)
-Solutions: PS0 / PS1 / PS2 / PS3 / PS4 / PS5 / PS6

Further Quantum Mechanics (2015/16)
-Problems: PS1 / PS2 / PS3
(Please excuse me for the fact that the problems in 15/16 academic year have been lost. The above links contains the problems in year 16/17, and this link contains the most recent one for the same lecturer. These available problem sheets contain most questions that correspond to the solutions, but keep in mind there will be discrepancies and differences in order.)

*PS1-Q2-line10 expression for the Faraday tensor needs an extra minus sign since metric is (+,-,-,-) in this course. Only this line needs to be fixed. The rest is all correct.
