Excellent Physics Book to Enhance Problem Solving Skills?

[googley71]

I'm a High School Student and I love studying Physics, but my main problem is, I sometimes get careless and sometimes uncritical to the word problems given in our Physics class, though, I get decent grades in Physics, I feel that I'm not yet satisfied with my skills in it, its seems that I still need to improve greatly to fulfill my dream - which is to be a very great scientist, I unselfishly want to be excellent.

Can you suggest me books that are word problem and math solving oriented, which covers Basic Physics to Advanced Physics, and especially, those who enhance the critical thinking skills and logic of the reader?

Thanks in advance!

Hmm, for High School level?

Perhaps those Olympiad physics problems?

Yes it can also be, but, as much as possible, those with answers, solutions and explanations, Thank you very much

How about Problems in general physics by Irodov..
It mentioned several times in this forum..
In my country, it is used as olympiad preparation..
Other similar book will be Krotov's Aptitude Test Problems in Physics
Try to locate them in your public library, because they are not widely available..

Complete solutions of Irodov are available in the internet
I got a pdf copy of the solutions if you want..

just PM me

I can definitely understand your desire to improve your problem-solving skills in physics. One book that I would highly recommend is "Solving Physics Problems" by Robert G. Fuller. This book covers a wide range of topics in physics, from basic concepts to advanced theories, and includes numerous word problems and math-solving exercises to help improve your skills. It also emphasizes critical thinking and logical reasoning, which are essential skills for any scientist.

Another great resource is "Thinking Physics" by Lewis Carroll Epstein. This book presents physics concepts in a fun and engaging way, using puzzles and thought experiments to challenge your problem-solving abilities. It also includes a section specifically dedicated to improving problem-solving skills.

In addition to these books, I would also suggest practicing regularly with past exam papers and working on problems from reputable physics textbooks. This will help you become more familiar with the types of problems you may encounter in your exams and improve your ability to apply your knowledge to new situations.

Remember, becoming an excellent scientist takes time and dedication, but with the right resources and practice, you can achieve your dream. Good luck!
