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

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
This is part 2 of my thread Collection of Free Online Math Books and Lecture Notes Here, we will consider physics and mathematical methods for physics resources. Now, this is a work in progress. Please feel free comment regarding items you want to be included, or if a link is broken etc. Note: I will not post links to other collections, each link will point you to a single item. :book:📚📒 [FONT=trebuchet ms]Introductory college/university physics College Physics, Openstax...
