Which Physics Books Are Best for IIT JEE Preparation?

AI Thread Summary
For those seeking effective physics textbooks, H.C. Verma is highly recommended for engineering examinations, particularly for its focus on foundational concepts and relevant problem sets. While some users found Resnik and Halliday to contain excessive theory and irrelevant problems, others emphasized the importance of understanding theory to solve problems effectively. It is suggested that students concentrate on the JEE syllabus and consider tackling problems from Irodov alongside Verma to enhance their problem-solving skills. The discussion highlights the balance between theory and practice in mastering physics for competitive exams.

I am looking for some good books for physics
The book which can cover most of the theory and sufficient problems for prectice, till now I have tried Resnik Haliday , but I think it is full of unnecessury theory and irrilevent problems
tell me about a complit book

dude you are asking this in PF. strange, really strange!
anyways, for physics let me tell you that there is no better book then H C Verma for engineering examinations. Going for tougher problems is never going to get you in IIT. Just get your basics right. H C Verma is best at it

What are you saying? How can solve any problem if you don't understand the theory properly? Are you expecting straight solutions to all problems. :biggrin: I suggest you go through the book properly and study only what is relevant for JEE syllabus. Solving problems from Irodov and HC Verma will give you more advantage for solving JEE-type problems.
 

Thread '"WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
