AP Physics Books: Problem and Solution Recommendations

AI Thread Summary
A high school student studying AP Physics seeks recommendations for books that provide problems with detailed solutions. Suggestions include "Schaum's 3000 Solved Problems in Physics" and a book by Serway, noted for its quality problems, though the solution manual must be purchased separately. Another recommendation is Saraeva's "Selected Problems in Elementary Physics," which offers a wealth of problems with detailed solutions, although it is described as suitable for advanced learners. The discussion also includes requests for ISBNs and links to these recommended books.

I'm currently a student in high school taking AP Physics and I'm interested in a book that would contain problems and detailed solutions to each problem. Please give me some recommendations to what book(s) I should look into.

Schaum's 3000 Solved Problems in Physics
 
I remember using a book by Serway, it had nice problems. The solution manual is an extra book, so you'll have to buy it separately.

thank you for the suggestion.. )
 
I have used Saraeva's "Selected Problems in Elementar Physics" in High School. It's an awesome book with lots of problems and all of them have a very detailed solution. It's Olympics level physics, though, but I do recommend if you want to spend a little more time thinking.
 
Can someone please give me the ISBN or a link for the Saraeva's "Selected Problems in Elementar Physics."

Can you please give me the ISBN for the books you mentioned.
 
TL;DR Summary: Book after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics I am doing a comprehensive reading of sakurai and I have solved every problem from chapters I finished on my own, I will finish the book within 2 weeks and I want to delve into qft and other particle physics related topics, not from summaries but comprehensive books, I will start a graduate program related to cern in 3 months, I alreadily knew some qft but now I want to do it, hence do a good book with good problems in it first...
TLDR: is Blennow "Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering" a good follow-up to Altland "Mathematics for physicists"? Hello everybody, returning to physics after 30-something years, I felt the need to brush up my maths first. It took me 6 months and I'm currently more than half way through the Altland "Mathematics for physicists" book, covering the math for undergraduate studies at the right level of sophystication, most of which I howewer already knew (being an aerospace engineer)...
