Is there a specific book or website that i can use to help me get to the IPho. I haven't learned much physics.

I haven't learned much physics.

There's your starting point. You should learn as much physics as you can through your coursework.

You don't need to create a second thread for this...

Anyway, what level of math have you studied?

 

[abhikesbhat]

I have learned basic calculus(derivatives, integration) and can make AIME easily.

If you have the equivalent knowledge of a calculus I course, then you can jump right into physics (but you should still continue to study calculus until you master single variable calc), all you need is a textbook. In the other thread, Brian C said he used Serway. I don't know much about physics textbooks but heard that the feynman lectures is superb and have found it to be a good supplement to my high-school physics class. If you can, you should try to enroll in a physics class next year so that you have someone to answer questions that you will inevitably have.

Ok thanks to all
