Book on Classical and Quantum Mechanics

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the search for a book that presents both classical and quantum mechanics using a unified mathematical framework. Participants express interest in resources that bridge these two areas of physics, emphasizing the desire for a comprehensive understanding rather than separate treatments. A notable recommendation is Robert Geroch's lecture notes titled "Geometric Quantum Mechanics," which may address the integration of classical and quantum concepts. Additionally, the conversation touches on the possibility of finding literature that explores both classical and quantum geometry within the same mathematical context.

Is there a book that presents classical and quantum mechanics utilizing the same mathematical framework? Just to get it out of the way, I have books on both topics that are separate from each other, I'm merely interested in any formulations of both theories utilizing the same math frameworks. If possible, is there also a book that describes classical and quantum geometry?

Thread '"WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
