Problems in General Physics by Irodov

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

I.E. Irodov's "Problems in General Physics" is a highly recommended resource featuring approximately 1900 challenging problems designed to enhance problem-solving skills in physics. The book is endorsed by the Physics Olympiad Community and is considered one of the best Russian problem books for introductory physics. Irodov has authored additional works, including "Fundamentals of Mechanics" and "Basic Law of Electromagnetism," which contain similarly challenging problems. Users appreciate the depth of the problems, although a separate solutions book is required for complete understanding.

Great book by I.E.Irodov! About 1900 problems are present in the book and each one is fun to solve. Don't forget to check out his other books too. :)
 
The Book is Recommended by Physics Olympiad Community. The Best Russian Problem Book on Introductory Physics. He is author of two other book also Fundamentals of Mechanics and Basic Law of Electromagnetism which consist some solved Problems of same level as in this Book.

He is the author of around 10 books but only 4 of them are translated in English. :P
 
Very good, huge set of problems, most pretty hard. But I really don't like the fact that you need a separate book for the solutions.
 
Really good book. It's good to test what have you really learned from your course.
 
Most of the questions are pretty good although some of them are easy but the good ones are extremely beautiful and somewhat a bit hard. If u have good concepts , go for it and make your concepts and analytical skills both more strong at the same time from this book . after doing it do try ss krotov's book . Also peter gnadig's 200 puzzling problem is good and almost all of its problems are extremely good and beautiful.
