SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the need for comprehensive physics textbooks that provide detailed explanations and derivations across various topics, including mechanics, modern physics, quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, and optics. A specific recommendation is made for Landau and Lifshitz's "Course of Theoretical Physics" series, which is noted for its rigorous approach to theoretical concepts. This series is highlighted as a valuable resource for students seeking in-depth understanding and mathematical formulations in advanced physics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Advanced Modern Physics concepts
  • Familiarity with Optics principles
  • Basic knowledge of Quantum Mechanics
  • Proficiency in Algebra and Mathematical Proofs
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Landau and Lifshitz's "Course of Theoretical Physics" series

I'm currently taking Advanced Modern Physics and Optics, among other things. Our textbooks aren't too keen on explaining things in detail and going into the exact proofs and formulations. I am looking for a physics book or series of physics books that actually explain everything in detail, including derivations (and the algebra used) to everything from hard mechanics to modern physics to quantum, e and M and optics...I know it sounds general but there has to be a series of books that's hardcore :[

Well, I don't get exactly what you want, but I think you should check Landau's "Course of Theoretical Physics" books.

I hope that helps.

Cheers :smile:.
 
Landau and Lif****z.

Have fun!
