Concepts of Physics (Part 1) [Paperback] H.C. VERMA Paperback – January 1, 2017

It has been over 12 years since I bought this book and over 8 when I finished both and put them down. I still very vividly remember each chapter, especially the second book.

This is one classic book for all the people who prepare for the toughest competitive exam in the world - The entrance to the IITs. This book forms a special mention because of its unique combination of ever lasting concepts of physics at one place, coupled with the simple diagramatical explanations to each problem. I am now a masters student and I still go back to this book to learn the ABCs of Physics.

This book, like its sequel, are very straight forward and to the point. The best way to describe them is a mix between a Schaum's Outline of Physics, and a typical (think Halliday/Resnick, Serway etc.) engineering physics book. Short explanations are followed by examples, then at the end of each chapter are tons of more "worked examples," and then three levels of problems sets- all with answers!
