Science for Everyone  (English, Paperback, Krotov S. S.)

The book grew out of Russian physics olympiads from 1968-1985, and quite clearly reveals the excellent Russian culture when it comes to physics competitions. The book covers mechanics, heat and thermodynamics, electrodynamics, and optics, and has 240 problems in all.

The book challenges the readers to go on to explore elegant arguments to arrive at the solution with the use of minimal mathematics. Usually, the problem at hand can be breached in multiple ways, and Krotov attempts to look for ...

After having used the book in discussion for quite some time, i can say with conviction that it is a mechanics enthusiast's delight.

The problems test ones ability to use the theory known to them in a simple yet imaginative way.The algebra is not as elaborate as required in I.E.Irodov, so if Mr Irodov has dissappointed you, pick this one up!

I must warn you that this is not an IITJEE preparation book, however, so stick to H.C.Verma if the JEE is your target.

Solutions to all the problems a...

This book is really good but if you have I.E.irodov then it won't be of much help as the problems are almost the same.I won't recommend this book if you are preparing it for exams like aiee or others but it is a thought provoking book, you can buy it if you have real interest in classical physics.
