AI Thread Summary
For those preparing for admission exams with a strong background in physics and mathematics, "Solved Problems in Classical Mechanics" by De Lange-Pierrus is highly regarded for its practical approach. Recommendations for similar resources include Irodov's "Problems in General Physics," which offers a variety of problems across different physics disciplines, including electrodynamics. These texts are beneficial for extensive practice in preparation for advanced studies.

Hello, I'm studying for an admision exam and i found that De Lange-Pierrus "Solved Problems in Classical Mechanics" is really useful. Could you recommend books like that for electrodynamics and calculus (single and multivariable)? I already have an advanced level on physics and maths, i just need to practice a lot.
Thanks!

Irodov's "Problems in General Physics" contains problems for different fields of physics including electromagnetism. I highly recommend this text.
 
Thanks i'll check it out!
 
The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
