Find Your Ideal Physics Textbook: Exercises Included

In summary, the conversation revolves around recommendations for a book on general physics with complete exercises. The suggested books are Joos' Theoretical Physics, Irodov Series, Alonso and Finn: Fundamental University Physics, and Basic Concepts in Physics by Sherwin. The conversation also mentions the level at which the books are suitable, with some being more appropriate for high school and others for university. An old review of one of the books is also shared.

Hi
Does anyone know a book of general physics (which covers the subjects of physics as a whole) with complete exercises?

Joos' Theoretical Physics probably has the breadth and level you want but relatively few exercises.

Irodov Series?

I know in India it’s used in high schools but I think that’s the exception not the rule.

Theres Alonso and Finn: Fundamental University Physics. Its 3 volumes. Very short and concise explanations. The authors took very good care when writing the book.
 
  • #7
I always liked Basic Concepts in Physics by Sherwin (1961), an unusual text arranged around classical mechanics (37 pages), relativity (71 pages), electricity (69 pages), QM (72 pages) and Statistical Mechanics (75 pages).

Here‘s an old review
