SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the suitability of Krotov's problem sets versus Irodov's for high school students aiming to enhance their problem-solving skills. Participants agree that while Krotov offers valuable resources, Jaan Kalda's problem sheets are highly recommended for high school-level problem solving. The consensus is that Irodov's material may require a greater commitment, making it less accessible for some students. Ultimately, Kalda's sheets are highlighted as an excellent resource for developing problem-solving abilities.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with high school physics concepts
  • Understanding of problem-solving techniques in mathematics
  • Basic knowledge of physics competitions
  • Access to Jaan Kalda's problem sheets
NEXT STEPS

How far you recommend krotov to high schoolers? like i genuinely want to improve my problem solving skills as i have given enough time in concepts and derivation stuffs...even of non routine courses but yeah need to sacrifice a few things for irodov! so?

Just throwing this in here; for high-school level problem solving, you really can't do much better than Jaan Kalda's problem sheets: https://www.ioc.ee/~kalda/ipho/
