Find Free Ebooks on Physics: Quantum Mechanics by J.J. Sakurai

[hector2010]

Where can i find free ebooks about physics ? For example quantum mechanics by j.j.sakurai

 

[z-component]

Try visiting the arXiv.org e-Print archive.

 

[chroot]

Sakurai's book is copyrighted, and is not free. Obtaining it in ebook form without paying for it is a crime. We do not condone such activity here.

Sakurai himself posted his book as a downloadable PDF on the arxiv. How can downloading and using it privately violate the copyright on the published book?

 

[chroot]

Er... oops! Sorry folks, I didn't bother to check out the link. Thread re-opened.

I browsed through but couldn't find it. Could you link me to it?

what about "quantum mechanics:concepts & applications" by noredine zettili? is it copyrighted? if not where can i find it?

You know,for some time now,there is a search engine called 'Google'.Why don't u try to use it?Type the author & title in the search bar and u'll find out in a couple of seconds if that book's copyrighted or not.

There's not JJ Sakurai QM book on "arxiv". Probably it was there when i didn't know what internet was...Or most likely it never was...

It's not quantum mechanics, but if you want a basic text on Newtonian physics (as well as other topics on the left hand side of the screen):

J.J. Sakurai died long before he could have posted the text on the web. He died in 1983 or so. The book was never finished by him, it was finished by one of his colaborators and published by his wife. It has been revised and a 2nd edition has been published within the past 4 or 5 years I think. If anyone has posted it, it must surely be an illegal copy.

You can't get a free e-copy of Sakurai, but you can get these lecture notes that are about the same level:

http://fafalone.hypermart.net/lectures.pdf

There are some shortcomings though, the most noticeable one being the total absence of the SHO problem. Haret Rosu had a e-Books for both classical and quantum mechanics (both graduate level) at the arXiv, but they aren't there anymore.

However, I did download them when they were available and I can email you a copy if you want. Just send me a PM.

 

[courtrigrad]

they have courant and apostol book online also for free

 

[daster]

they have courant and apostol book online also for free

Where?

 

[courtrigrad]

://[PLAIN]http://kr.cs.ait.ac.th/~radok/math/mat6/startdiall.htm[/URL] Courant

=:dii.nju.edu.cn/physics/materials.htm [/URL]

 

[dextercioby]

Nope,i'm sorry.No link worked for me.But i could direct you both to an alternative for the wolfram site.
Abramowitz & Stegun is online here

The .pdf file is for sale,unfortunately...

Daniel.

 

[courtrigrad]

try googling "differential integral calculus: kr" and " download apostol calculus" (go to reference materials)

 

[dextercioby]

I'm not really eager to dld a book on calculus...

Maybe when i'll start forgetting stuff...

Daniel.

 

[dextercioby]

Nope,it wouldn't connect to the server.Thanks,anyway...

Daniel.

 

[courtrigrad]

the first googling works

 

[dextercioby]

Maybe for you,but not for me.I could't connect to that server.

Daniel.

 

[devious_]

The first one works; courtrigrad's linked to http://://http://kr.cs.ait.ac.th/~radok/math/mat6/startdiall.htm instead of http://kr.cs.ait.ac.th/~radok/math/mat6/startdiall.htm . I get a TCP error for the second one though (my ISP's fault, I think).

 

[poolwin2001]

The 2nd one works for me not the first.

 

[dextercioby]

Yes,it works for me too.The second,that is.2 bad it's not dld-able,it's only .html pages.You can't dld 100 internet pages...
Any way,i was referring to another website which had .pdf files to many books and was reccomended both by courtrigrad & google.Unfortunately that one failed last night,i'll try it today too & if it's working,i'll let u know.

Daniel.

 

[courtrigrad]

was that the one with tom apostol and Feynman Lectures?

 

[dextercioby]

Yes,i checked again and it wouldn't connect.Too bad,Feynman's lectures would have been a valuable assett.

Daniel.

 

[courtrigrad]

it'll be up soon i think. this has happened before.

Regarding downloading internet pages:

You can use a PDF writer to convert from HTML. I think there's a way to concatenate multiple PDF files into a single one, but I don't know how to do it.

Anyway, here's the PDF writer that I use:

http://www.pdf995.com/

Just download and install, and then you will be able to create PDF files from any other format by clicking on "Print" and selecting PDF995 as your printer.
