Generally, when you reach the second year of high school, you can start learning to make competition books. If your Longmen project is completed quickly, it is ok to learn the theory of competition earlier. Calculus is not needed, but a small amount of analysis is necessary! Why not rely on calculus? Because the thinking of solving physics competition problems before IPHO is different from that of college physics problems, if you rely on calculus, you will never learn the thinking of high school physics competition books! So, learn a little analysis ~ When you understand the thinking of the competition questions, you can learn calculus properly.
2. The competition book is the road to the first gold medal. What you want to see are explanations and examples. These theoretical knowledge are very different from high school textbooks. If you can understand 80% of them, you can do the following exercises. When you can do 80% of the exercises after the book, you can do the next book at the same time.
3. Then there is the white leather (I forget what it is called, but we prefer the old white leather, which seems to be white with pink edges). I strongly recommend this book, its problem-solving ideas are quite different from those of the gold medal. Personally, I think it is more flexible than the gold medal, but it is more extensive in theory (it seems that Fan Xiaohui just finished writing it? Anyway, you should know that you usually go to the bookstore that sells competition books.
There is also a green paper, which I made the year after next, and I was deeply impressed.
5. Mechanics and Electromagnetism by Cheng Jiafu seems to be the book I read in the last stage (because I got it later). It is very impressive. It is a very good book and it is very clear, but it seems to be of little use to beginners.
6. Puzzle collection, well, basically you don't want to see it unless you join the provincial team. This is a thick and difficult book ... if all the previous books have been read, you can use your spare time to collect puzzles ~ but if your level can make it to the provincial team, you can spend a lot of time collecting puzzles in senior three. If you want to join the provincial team and get good results in the national finals, you should concentrate on solving difficult problems-of course, you can wait until your senior year before deciding whether to try to join the provincial team.
Let me tell you a measure to join the provincial team: you should sign up for a physics competition when you are a sophomore. If you can get the first prize in the semi-finals and have an experimental exam, it means you have a chance to enter the provincial team. You can get the first prize in your second year of high school, but you are still a second-class general under normal circumstances. Because this involves the future of senior three students, you must work hard for the provincial team.
I don't remember many books and papers. In short, the theoretical part is the foundation. At that time, the Road to Gold Medal and the White Paper were required reading, and so was the Green Paper. The competition questions over the years should be done at the end, squeezing time and scoring. It's a mock exam ~
After that, if you enter the national semi-finals (only by entering the semi-finals can you win the first prize), you need to prepare the experimental part. ....................................................................................................................................
You can't help but want to see something when you enter the finals. Anyway, if it really reaches that level, you will naturally know.
-I am the dividing line during the competition.
As for the competition process, it may vary from province to province, but in general:
1. First, give questions in the province and choose students to participate in the preliminaries;
2. Then if you choose the third prize of the national preliminary contest (the national contest will give you a question), I recommend you to participate in the semi-finals with a higher score (see how your province chooses it every year);
3. The written part of the national rematch is given by the competition committee, and the experimental part is given by the province. After the written test, a certain number of people take the experimental test (depending on the number of people set in your province every year), and then take part in the experiment. The two scores add up and rank, and they win the first prize among those who take the experimental test.
Among them, it is suggested that students who take part in the rematch should carry out experimental training before the rematch, and the rematch should be held by the experimental school.
4. After the first prize 12 (people in different provinces are different! ) you will see a ranking exam, which may be a question in the province (? ), select the top 7 (different provinces, depending on your national finals and IPHO medals over the years) as provincial teams to participate in the national finals.
5. The first prize in the national finals will enter the training of selecting national teams, during which there will be N exams, and finally the national teams will be selected to participate in IPHO.
This is probably such a process.
