Igor Yevgenyevich Irodov was a renowned Russian physicist. An author of several compelling reads, Irodov's most acclaimed book is Problems in General Physics. He has also authored Fundamental Laws of Mechanics. Books penned by Irodov are used by students worldwide to prepare for the Physics Olympiads. After a brief stint with the Soviet Army during World War II, Irodov graduated in physical and mathematical sciences from the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute, where he later served as a faculty member until his death. Initially hired as a lecturer at the Institute, Irodov went on to become a professor at the Institute's Department of General Physics.

Therefore each chapter contains first a description of the theory of the subject being considered (illustrated by concrete examples) and then a set of selected problems with solutions.</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(33, 37, 41); font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", "Liberation Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; letter-spacing: 0.7px; text-align: justify;">The problems are closely related to the text and often complement it. Hence they should be analyzed together with the text. In authors opinion the selected problems should enable the reader to attain a deeper understanding of many important topics and to visualize (even without solving the problems but just by going through them) the wide range of applications of the ideas presented in this book.SI units of measurements are used throughout the book. The most important statements and terms are given in italics. More complicated material and problems involving cumbersome mathematical calculations are set in breviertype. This material can be omitted on first reading without any loss of continuity. The brevier type is also used for problems and examples.</span><span style="color: rgb(33, 37, 41); font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", "Liberation Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; letter-spacing: 0.7px; text-align: justify;"><br></span><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(33, 37, 41); font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", "Liberation Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; letter-spacing: 0.7px; text-align: justify;"></p>
