Other Best physics books for preparing for the IPHO?

AI Thread Summary
Preparation for the International Physics Olympiad (IPHO) requires a solid understanding of physics concepts and problem-solving skills. A recommended resource is the document from the British Physics Olympiad, which covers essential theory needed for the competition. Additionally, a link to the Art of Problem Solving community provides a comprehensive list of books and resources tailored for IPHO preparation. Engaging with these materials will enhance theoretical knowledge and practical problem-solving abilities necessary for success in the competition.

So I have decided to participate in the IPHO in the upcoming years. I searched online but I don't seem to be getting any help on how I should prepare and what books I need to refer to.

So please, could you guide me on which books I should refer to for IPHO?

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...
