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.
 
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...
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...
