Excellent Physics Book to Enhance Problem Solving Skills?

AI Thread Summary
A high school student passionate about physics seeks to enhance their problem-solving skills and critical thinking abilities, expressing a desire to excel in the subject to achieve their dream of becoming a great scientist. Despite achieving decent grades, they feel the need for improvement, particularly in tackling word problems. Suggestions for resources include books focused on word problems and math-solving in physics, specifically those that provide answers and explanations. Recommendations include "Problems in General Physics" by Irodov, often used for Olympiad preparation, and Krotov's "Aptitude Test Problems in Physics." The availability of complete solutions for Irodov's book online is also noted, with offers for sharing resources.

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! :biggrin:

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
 

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...
