Books for Preparation of competitive Exams

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on seeking effective resources for mastering Physics and Mathematics in preparation for exams like BIT-SAT, AIEEE, and Advanced Placement. The user currently has "I E Irodov" and "Fundamentals of Physics" by Resnick, Halliday, and Walker for Physics, and is looking for additional books that clarify concepts, particularly in Calculus, Inverse Trigonometric Functions, and Pre-Calculus. Recommendations include "HC Verma" for Physics, "OP Tandon" for Physical and Inorganic Chemistry, and "Arihant" for Organic Chemistry. For Mathematics, "ML Khanna" and "RD Sharma" are mentioned, though their clarity is questioned. Suggested resources for problem-solving strategies include "Interactive Physics" for concept application and "I A Maron" for Calculus. The user expresses a desire for guidance on tackling "I E Irodov" problems without relying solely on solution sets.

Hi friends this is my first post on PF. I see their is some undiscovered resource in Forum.
I am appearing for exams like BIT-SAT, AIEEE and Advanced Placement and A-Levels.
I need those books which can make concepts clear in Physics from scratch or at intermediate level. And also for Maths which include Inverse Trignometric Functions and the most important Calculus. You can also suggest me some Pre-Calculus resources.I need this resource so that I can master the topic in minimum time as possible.
I hope this would help me.
I have the following books available right now for physics.
1. I E Irodov
2. Fundamentals of Physics by Resnick, Halliday and Walkar.
I uses these two books to strengthen by concepts and problem solving ability.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
hc verma in physics is good,op tandon in physical and inorganic chem... and arihant in organic chemistry,ml khanna and rd sharma in mathematics
 
not again that. They don't explain things clearly but good as well.
 
You can try sl looney in trignometry and coordinate geometry n higher algebra by hall and knight and calculus by ia maron,
 
I bought I A Maron Calculus and also I E Irodov for general physics problems.
I was able to solve about 30% of total sum and the rest were getting much harder.
Do you know the best book for solving I E Irodov Problems, I don't want the solution set but the problem solving strategies.
 
Then buy interactive physics,it teaches application of concepts,solve hc verma problems first then switch to ie irodov + you can also try morrision and boyd or solomon in organic ,jd lee in inorganic chemistry and peter atkhins in physical part
 

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...
