The discussion revolves around the selection of books for preparing for the Physics Olympiad, focusing on various resources that can aid in learning physics and solving olympiad-level problems. Participants share their experiences and recommendations regarding textbooks and supplementary materials.
Participants do not reach a consensus on which book is the best for preparing for the Physics Olympiad, as multiple competing views and recommendations are presented. There is also disagreement regarding the sufficiency of certain textbooks in covering all necessary topics.
Participants mention limitations in their current resources, such as the lack of coverage in certain advanced topics in "Fundamentals of Physics" and the varying levels of difficulty in problem sets across different books. Some express the need for additional learning materials to fully prepare for the olympiad.
This discussion may be useful for students preparing for the Physics Olympiad, educators seeking resources for teaching physics, and anyone interested in understanding the variety of materials available for learning and problem-solving in physics.
Erfan said:Hello everyone.I'm new here! and I do study for the Physics olympiad,too.I have finished all the chapters of FOP.and so I'm studying Classical Mechanic-Daniel Kleppner ,Jerry B. Marion and Electrodynamics-Grifits.But I wanted to ask where can I find national physics questions of USA and China(in english)? I really need them for practice.
