Books For IIT

Physics Chemistry Maths High school mathematics by Hall and Knight IIT Maths by M.L. Khanna CALCULUS amp; ANALYTIC GEOMETRY by G.N.Berman IIT Chemistry by O.P. Aggarwal Physics by H.C. Verma Problems in physics by I.E. Irodov Resnick and Halliday

Q- Which BOOKS are best ? A- MATHS-S.L.Loney for trigonometry,coordinate geometry and vectors (complete) -I.A.Maron for calculus (selected portions) -G.N.Berman for calculus (selected portions) -M.L.Khannas IIT guide is quite good for practice -Tata McGraw Hill (if time permits then and then only) CHEMISTRYPhysical chemistry:-R.C.Mukerjee (try to almost complete the book) -P.Bahadur -IIT guide by O.P.Agarwal Organic chemistry:-Morrison Boyd (selectively study...very nice book!) -Solutions to Morrison Boyd (IIT profs. make lots of problem from this book!!!) -IIT guide by O.P.Agarwal (problems only,dont go in for theory) Inorganic chemistry:-IIT guide by O.P.Agarwal is sufficient. PHYSICSMechanics:1) Resnick Halliday Part 1(this book is superb provided you have somebody to explain it for you..) 2) H.C.Verma Part 1(very nice book..lots of conceptual problems ..but no complicated problems) 3) IIT guide by S.L.Gupta (one should try to solve the unsolved questions of this book) 4) I.E.Irodov (most of the problems are quite good.Leave heavy dose mathematical problems) Electricity and Magnetism:1)Resnick Halliday Part 2 (this is very nice book provided you have somebody to explain the text for you) 2)H.C.Verma Part 2 ( problems are conceptual , but not sufficient) 3)I.E.Irodov (only those problems that are in your course) Modern Physics:1)H.C.Verma Part 2 (modern physics portion should be done as much as possible) 2)IIT guide by S.L.Gupta (solved problems).

List of Books for the IIT JEE

If you are a prospective JEE candidate, you might find this

page useful I've listed some books which I used for the IIT JEE, some which I know my classmates at IIT used for prepping,and some which I think can be used effectively for the JEE. I am unsure of the publishers,after all, it's been some time since I took the JEE :) .

Mathematics
Calculus Integral Calculus, Shanti Narayan, S.Chand & Co. Differential Calculus, Shanti Narayan, S.Chand & Co. A Problem Book in Mathematical Analysis, G.N.Berman, CBS Publishers Problems in Calculus of one Variable, IA Maron, CBS Publishers ( Above books are collections of problems) Calculus, Piskunov, MIR Publishers Calculus by many Russian authors ( Not sure if Russian books are available easily. These can be used as theoretical foundations). Algebra, Discrete Maths, Probability Higher Algebra, Hall & Knight, S.Chand & Co. Intro. to Probability and its applications, William Feller, Addison Wesley (I came across Feller only in the US. However, I think it can be used for the JEE ) Trigonometry, CoGeo, Vectors Trigonometry, S.L.Loney, S.Chand & Co Coordinate Geometry , S.L.Loney, S.Chand&Co AIO books ( All-In-One ) IIT Mathematics, M.L.Khanna Tata McGrawHill IIT Mathematics Guide These books have solved problems. In deference to my professor's advice, I never bought these. I would advise you the same but there is no harm having a look at them once in a while.

Physics
The one absolutely essential book Problems in General Physics, I.E.Irodov, CBS Publishers

Irodov's website is here. This is one heck of a book. Buy this before anything else. Please try and solve the problems yourself. Do not buy the umpteen "abc solutions to Irodov" books. General Physics vols 1,2, Resnick & Halliday University Physics, Sears & Zeemansky The Feynman Lectures on Physics vols 1,2, Richard P. Feynman, Narosa(?) Mechanics Statics, S.L.Loney Dynamics, S.L.Loney Fundamental Laws of Mechanics, I.E.Irodov, CBS Publishers Engineering Mechanics vols1, 2, Beer & Johnston, McGrawHill (?) Engineering Mechanics, Irving Shames, Prentice-Hall of India (?) These are books I encountered in IIT Madras for my Engineering Mechanics courses.They have many problems which can be straight out of a JEE Physics paper. It would be definitely worth your while to take a look at these. Electromagnetism Basic Laws of Electromagnetism, I.E.Irodov, CBS Publishsers. Intro to Electrodynamics, Griffiths, Prentice Hall of India (?) Again, Griffiths is a book I used at IIT Madras for my second semester Physics course. Nevertheless some problems can be tackled at JEE level although the vector methods may be a bit too advanced.

Chemistry
