Looking for a book with a lot of physics problems

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on preparing for a physics education by reviewing mathematics and seeking problem-solving resources in physics. The individual plans to study physics using Khan Academy and foundational texts like Halliday and Resnick, along with Feynman's lectures. They are looking for recommendations for books that contain a variety of physics problems with solutions, ideally covering high school to graduate levels. Suggestions include specific titles such as those by Moiseiwitsch and Goldstein, as well as the Irodov book, which is noted for its quality. The participant expresses a preference for physical books due to limited internet access while traveling and considers focusing on topic-specific problem books, particularly for high school and early undergraduate levels. The Feynman lectures are also highlighted as a valuable online resource for challenging problems.

Hi,

I will go back to school next year to start studying physics. For the moment, I am learning/reviewing maths with Khan Academy and the book of Mary Boas.

Once I am good with the maths, I will start to review/learn physics (Khan Academy, Fundamental of Physics by Halliday and Resnick, Feynman's lecture).

I would like to know if you could recommend one or more books containing a lot of problems in Physics with the solutions.

Physics is a really wide topic so I guess I won't find a book with problems about everything related to physics. I tried to find some books and found some (apparently) really good like those one :

https://www.amazon.com/dp/5030008004/?tag=pfamazon01-20
https://www.amazon.com/dp/0521449758/?tag=pfamazon01-20
https://www.amazon.com/dp/0071763465/?tag=pfamazon01-20

Basically, one book for High school, one for Undergraduate and one for Graduate physics would be great or one book that would cover everything. Should I try to find books with problems related to a particular topic like electromagnetism, optic, ... instead ?

I know that I could probably find problems to solve online but I travel a lot and I don't have access to a computer or even internet all the time so that's why I would prefer to find a book.

Thank you.

Thanks whyevengothere, I already found it after some research.
Thanks jedishrfu too, I'll have a look. I will probably focus on books with problems for high school and early unergraduate until next year.

the feynman lectures are now available online too and that's a good source of challenging problems.

Thanks, I am already reading that when I have some free time. :)
 
Thanks for this info
