Nevertheless, thanks for your clarification. It was really enlightening.

Yes. I díd not understand it then, i hope to do it now. By the way, you will see that Kleppner and kolenkow do compute work done by static friction on a wheel.

By the way, this is not homework help, this is just a doubt about the theory part in Morin's book. That is the reason why I did not use the template.

Ok, let me post it: In his book "problems and solutions in introductory mechanics", page 105, when discussing the general work - energy theorem, he claims: If an object is deformable, we need to be careful about how we define work. The work is FΔx (we’ll deal with 1-D here, for simplicity)...

Hello all. In his books on classical mechanics, David Morin claims that when computing the work W = F Δx done by a contact force that don’t involve any slipping, we can equivalently say that Δx is the displacement of the thing that is applying the force. Later, when analysing a wheel rolling...

Thank you George, it seems an interesting book.

Hello all. I am studying Thermal Physics from Schroeder's book. I really like this book, but the number of worked examples and solved problems is minimum. Could you please suggest me a complemetary book with worked examples and problems? The ideal book should be similar to Schroeder's, with the...

I have the same question. Is it a mistake or not?

Any other resorces not necessary applied to physics, but to general programming with Python?

By the way, i have read someteré that there is a third edition of Griffiths' QM book about to come. Do you know when will it be on sale?

Well, so it seems to me that, in my particular case, the best introduction will be Griffiths' book. We'll see. Thanks you all for your contributions.

I have had the opportunity of taking a look to Zettili, and in the second chapter (mathematical tools for QM) he talks about Cauchy sequences, Hilbert spaces, dual spaces... and all this in the first few pages. I have studied algebra, but it does not ring me a bell. Maybe I am not prepared for...

Hello all! You'll see, I am self studying physics, and have already finished with Kleppner - Kolenkow mechanics (complemented with Morin) and Griffiths electrodynamics. Now I think I am prepared for QM, but I do not know which textbook is better for me. I have reduced my options to Griffiths...

OK. Is Boas' chapter on LA enough to be able to follow Griffiths' quantum mechanics book? Regards.

Well, I actually need a refresher of linear algebra that goes quickly and straight to the point, starting from the very basics, and reaching to the concepts required for quantum mechanics. That is why I mentioned, as an example, Kleppner's book on calculus (brief, very good on explanations, and...
