I am a high school sophomore and I want to take part in Physics Olympiads which is exactly why I want to learn electrodynamics. I have ordered 'An Introduction to Electrodynamics' by D.J. Griffiths. I am halfway through MIT OCW mechanics course and I know Calculus equivalent to standard Calculus...

I am a new member here and decided to join Physics Forums to get help to prepare for Physics Olympiads. I am a high school sophomore. Going to be a junior soon. I have taken advanced Math classes via MIT OCW and the internet. I am also proficient with Mechanics, but nothing international...

Homework Statement 2 bricks of mass m are located near the edge of a smooth horizontal surface, they are connected by an ideal weightless ,unstretched spring with a length of l0 and spring constant k. The brick which is closer to the edge is connected to another brick of the same mass by an...

I've been interested in participating in some kind of college-level international/national STEM competitions (single or team), fairs (research based) or olympiads mainly because I never had in high school and want to experience it, but I've noticed in my search that 95% of these types of...

i wish to give physics mathematics and astronomy olympiad, how should I study for it? which books should i refer ?

5. Point Q is 3m above and 4m to the North of Point P. Ignoring friction how much energy does it take to move a 5kg sack of potatoes from point P to point Q? These are multiple choice questions of the exam, so in the mark scheme it only says: A, B ... The question paper can be found...

Questions that come for Olympiads and entrance examinations are of a different level. It would be better if PhysicsForums had a separate forum for Olympiads where one can discuss high level problems because such problem requires a great knowledge and good conceptual strength. Also such problems...

I want to prepare for upcoming national and international physics olympiad and i have about two months to do so. Can anyone suggest me a book topicwise or for complete physics. Thank You !

I am a high school student in India . I finished grade 10 this year . I have completed phyiscs upto the level of RESNICK HALLIDAY , i learned all high school mathematics and Single variable calculus . I want to go to US for college . So i want to get into schools like MIT/CalTech/harvard etc ...

Iam preparing for physics olympiad 2014 . i have read all theory and had a good amount of problem solving from resnick halliday walker . i need a problem book with difficulty comparable to that of the international physics olympiads. I have IE IRODOV and SS KROTOV . which is a better book for...

Homework Statement f\left(x^{2}+f(y)\right)=y-x^{2} Homework Equations Find all functions f that satisfy the relationship for every real x and y. The Attempt at a Solution is this correct reasoning? for x=0: f(y)=f^{-1}(y) for x>0: \existsxεℝ: x=k^{2}...

Homework Statement for every (x,y) in ℝ^2: f(x^2+f(y))= y-x^2 Homework Equations Find all functions. The Attempt at a Solution I was wondering if rewriting it as x^2+f(y)=f^-1(y-x^2)?

Homework Statement A cat sitting in a field suddenly sees a standing dog. To save its life, the cat runs away in a straight line with speed u. Without any delay, the dog starts with running with constant speed v>u to catch the cat. Initially, v is perpendicular to u and L is the initial...

Hi, I am in need of very hard physics and maths problems from olympiads best in English/German/Russian. Thanks

Has anybody here done one of these? I just did the paper 2 and I feel like my brain's going to dribble out of my nose. ok, so the questions weren't quite that hard, but it was still evil (still, considering a gold is something like 50% - 60% so I don't suppose I did badly compared to...

Hey you knowledgeable physics guys...what books are good for the Physics Plympiads? (the U.S. one)
