Mastering Physics For IIT-JEE Volume - I

Physics is crucial to understanding the world around us, the world inside us, and the world beyond us. It is the most basic and fundamental science. Physics challenges our imaginations with concepts like relativity and it leads to great discoveries, like computers and lasers, that change our lives.

Physics also undergirds many new technologies. Cell phones and the Internet are only a few examples of the physics-based technological developments that have revolutionized our world. It’s been a privilege and an unending joy to have spent much of my life studying and teaching physics, and it is out of my gratitude to and admiration of physics that this book takes its form.

In my teaching experience I observe that most of the students after reading the theory start working out the problems. This is not efficient way of developing concepts and problem solving skills. To get the maximum benefit of the book Mastering Physics students should read carefully the whole chapter at least two or three times with all the solved examples and with more stress on additional examples included in chapter. That’s why I have provided plenty of Solved examples..
