Suggestion Physics olympiad discussion

[azureth]

can we have a special area for physics olympiad discussion and problem collection(like problem papers of ipho, apho and usapho)?

 

[azureth]

also how about raising a kind of weekly problem set or somehing like that for olympiad

There's a "Putnam problem of the day" there, if that's the kind of thing you're looking for.

for monthly problem use crux magzine you will find on
http://www.cms.math.ca/journals/crux/

 

[n10Newton]

sorry. crux is on
http://cms.math.ca/crux/

It's just http://cms.math.ca/crux/, the link you gave 404s. It looks good though, so good I bookmarked it!

edit;
looks like you beat me to it

other monthly problem sets on

Actually what I mean is physics problems

 

[n10Newton]

the site give 404s because i use www at beginning. it is just a mistake and i corrected.

 

[n10Newton]

use MIT open courseware at
http://ocw.mit.edu/
american physics olympiad problem at
http://www.aapt.org/
you will find many pre-IPhO questions from different country in english such as
australian science innovation , asian physics olympiad , british physics olympiad and Canadian physics olympiad. use the google search for these.

Could you please offer me more website on physics problems. I have to admit there are a great number of maths problems on the Internet, but what I want is physics problems. Thanks a lot.

 

[n10Newton]

so physics probs also at
http://ortvay.elte.hu/main.html

hey, is there any site for experimatal problems and demonstration.
and also suggest site for astrony olympiad problems

 

[n10Newton]

some more are
Physics olympiad srilanka at
http://www.ip-sl.org/
Physics olympiad Bangladesh at
http://www.bdpho.org/2012/

 

[n10Newton]

some physics book that have problem as olympiad level
I E Irodov Problems in general Physics , S S Krotov Science for everyone Aptitude test:Problems in Physics , 200 puzzling Problems.
you can find more olympiad level books,websites, reading techniques on your respective country's gold medalists home page/blogs.
i am from India so i only go through iit toppers cum IPhO gold medalist such as Nitin jain,Akansha sarda,Sitikants blog.

To quote myself in one of the threads that I linked to:

We frequently get such question on why such-and-such does not have a forum to itself.

Let's me give you this fact for you to consider. Condensed matter physics is the LARGEST sub-division in physics, and in fact, can easily be argued as the largest subtopic in physics. Still, do you see a forum solely dedicated to this subject area? Go take a look around. It shares the subforum with Atomic/molecular physics, and computational physics! Imagine that! Even a subject area that is the LARGEST in the field of physics does not have a forum all to itself!

So already, the argument of importance, of significance, and of size has no bearing on a subject matter getting its own forum. What is more important are (i) frequency of the topic being posted (ii) the level of SUSTAINED interest in that topic (iii) the number of regular members participating in that topic. It is of no point to create a forum for a topic just because ... There has to be an online demand for it in this forum that can justify such a creation.

So forget what you think about the subject matter in general. Do you think your topic qualifies in all the 3 criteria to justify the creation of its own forum? Do you think the posting frequency matches that of, say, the posting frequency in the Relativity forum?

Zz.

OK, I see. Sorry for the unreasonable suggestion.

The College Board posts about 10 years worth of AP Physics free-response questions. I'm not sure, but they are probably similar in format to Olympiad questions. The links are posted below; once you're at a page, just click "All Questions" under any of the years that are listed.

AP Physics B - no calculus involved, but includes extra topics like Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, and basic Quantum and Nuclear Physics:
http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/members/exam/exam_information/2007.html

AP Physics C - involves calculus, covers Mechanics and E&M only
Mechanics: http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/members/exam/exam_information/8039.html
Electricity & Magnetism: http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/members/exam/exam_information/2008.html
