I want to prepare for upcoming national and international physics olympiad and i have about two months to do so. Can anyone suggest me a book topicwise or for complete physics. Thank You !
Get the olympiad problems from previous years. They are usually online with solutions.

That is what i mean. If you could suggest any book for classical mechanics and electricity and magnetism which includes theory as well as good problems.PeterDonis said:What particular aspects of theory are you concerned about? "The theory" of physics is a very broad topic; you're not going to find a single book that covers everything.

<shivay> said:i am using Sears and Zemansky's University physics with modern physics, would that be sufficient.
The best books to study for Physics Olympiads in 2 months are "The Physics Olympiad Primer" by Ashish Arora, "300 Creative Physics Problems with Solutions" by László Holics, and "Physics Olympiad: Basic to Advanced Exercises" by The Committee of Japan Physics Olympiad.
To effectively prepare for Physics Olympiads in 2 months, it is important to focus on understanding the fundamental concepts and practicing problem-solving. Make a study schedule and stick to it, and also try to solve past Olympiad problems to get a feel for the level of difficulty.
Yes, there are many online resources that can help you prepare for Physics Olympiads in 2 months. Some websites to check out include Physics Cup, Physics Forum, and the International Physics Olympiad website, which offers past problems and solutions.
While a strong mathematical background can certainly be helpful, it is not necessary to excel in Physics Olympiads. It is more important to have a solid understanding of the fundamental concepts and to be able to apply them to solving problems.
To make the most out of your study time, make sure to allocate enough time for both understanding the concepts and practicing problem-solving. It can also be helpful to work with a study partner or join a study group to discuss and solve problems together.
