Hello everyone! My question is simple. Is there some website with really good and tricky physics exercises? I'm in 12th grade but I have also been studying and practicing by myself for some time now. I need 12th grade topics but with harder level questions. Any ideas would be great...

I'm reading a book, Introduction to Quantum Mechanics by D.Griffiths, and at the end of each chapter there are problems to be solved, nice problems, but I can't find the solutions, and I don't really see the point of solving the problem if you can't check the solution. In the preface of book...

Hey, I am looking for some recommendations on books covering partial differential equations and another one on complex analysis. I don't have a lot of extra money, so I am kind of hoping that someone has experience with some of the Dover books, and could possible recommend any of them? I...

This may seem like a weird question, but ****... I'm just going to throw it out there. I do a lot of writing. Lots of math, physics, and tiny little symbols that are just friggen annoying to write with normal #2 pencils. Thus, I mostly use mechanical pencils, and these work fine for the most...

Hi everyone, This is not a college problem per se. I have been working for a quite some time now and have been developing in the area of physics for sometime now. I would like to join a university and complete a degree. However, due to certain circumstances, I cannot really stop working and...

I'll be heading over to Singapore soon, and I'm looking forward to buying books. :) I can't get good books from my country. Would anyone would like to help build up my list of purchase? I'm looking for non-fiction (science) and fantasy books.

This is my first post, by the way. Hello everyone. I just received R. Shankar's text on QM a few days ago. I am thorougly impressed with the general layout of the book. I've heard introducing Dirac notation first is an excellent idea. The first ~ 80 pages of the book are of a introductory...
