Should I Use Irodov and Resnick, Halliday, Walker for AP Physics C Self-Study?

AI Thread Summary
Solving problems from Irodov and Halliday, Resnick, and Walker is considered beneficial for mastering AP Physics C: Mechanics and Electricity & Magnetism. Self-studying students are encouraged to utilize resources like Schaum's General Physics or comprehensive problem-solving books for efficient learning. Recommendations include Barron's and Princeton Review for practice problems, with Barron's suggested for those with more time. Halliday, Resnick, and Krane's textbook is noted as a strong resource, with any edition deemed suitable for preparation. Additional websites for practice problems include simonster.com and hippocampus.org.

Is it advisable to solve problems from Irodov and Resnick , Halliday , Walker for AP PHYSICS C :MECHANICS AND ELECTRICITY & MAGNETISM ?
I am self-studying, so any website links to practice problems(except Collegeboard) will be really helpful, please.

Thank you.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Can somebody please reply?
Thank you.
 
If you want problems and solutions, then just get something like Schuam's General Physics or one of those 3000-problems-worked/solved-in-physics books. Those are probably the fastest way to learn the material.
 
I recommand Barron's and Princeton Review's. If you got the time, use barron's, otherwise use Princeton Review.
 
ive heard that halliday resnick krane is better than walker. I plan to buy it this summer to prepare myself for physics c. The book name is "physics." Any edition of it should be good.heres some websites:

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
