Hi, my name is Chaitanya Kapoor, and I am a sophomore at BITS Pilani majoring in Electrical and Electronics Engineering.

I am a Machine Learning enthusiast, specifically in the area of Deep Learning methods and Computer Vision. Apart from this, I have a very keen interest in physics (leaning towards Quantum mechanics).

In my spare time, I enjoy long distance running and I love watching and playing football. Occasionally, I immerse myself in a good science fiction or murder mystery novel :)

JEE aspirants may have been made aware of Irodov when starting their journey in physics. Often, students tend to shy away from the questions on account of it's thought provoking and conceptual nature.

I highly encourage readers to solve and persevere through this book. I found it a challenging and exciting collection of problems, which tested both my concepts and my patience. Nevertheless, solving it was a rewarding experience and gave me confidence to solve virtually any problem that I would face in the exams.

Syllabus

This book is divided into six parts, out of which only four are within the constraints of JEE syllabus:

1. Physical Fundamentals of Mechanics

2. Thermodynamics and Molecular Physics

3. Electrodynamics

4. Oscillations and Waves

Even among these, certain sub-parts are omitted on account of being outside the prescribed syllabus, which I have duly mentioned in the text, wherever applicable.

Solving

I have tried to demonstrate the thought process that I went through myself, and make the reader aware of the possible pitfalls that they could encounter. I suggest giving the problems a fair bit of time and thought before referring to these solutions.

Readers are highly encouraged to reach out to me in case of any discrepancies, suggestions, alternate or better methods to solve problems at my email address.

Happy journey to all the readers! I sincerely hope it's a fruitful and enjoyable learning process!

All the best for all your exams :)
