I'm having a hard time with the Irodov problems in General physics, especially with some of the last multistep problems as well as the waves/optics section, mainly because there are more advanced applications of extended object momentum, non-inertial frame, gyroscopic motion that I haven't...
Thanks for responding. I looked over some threads, even the Mary Boas's thread, but it seems to me that those threads don't really address what I wanted to know.
I think I should reformulate my question.
1. I have books for Linear algebra (standard one), Ordinary differential equation (an...
Hi,
I am about to go to college and study engineering physics. I am studying calc based physics and Calculus BC, and some vector calculus (From the Stewart's textbook).
I think I am going to enroll in a introductory physics class that is more advanced than the usual intro for engineers...
"Lehninger's Principles of Biochemistry by Nelson and Cox is a good introductory text"
Yeah, that book is real good, except it is REALLY big and detailed. In fact, I used it more as a dictionary when I did biochem research than a "learning" book. If you want something more user friendly, I...
I got my final pick of books as extra readings/studying to supplement my rather deficient Physics C class. It's the Feynman lectures on Physics and Irodov problem book (and when my calculus is ready, I'll tackle Introduction to Mechanics by Kleppner and Kolenkow)
How do you think should I...
I don't know a lot about Spivak or Apostol, but I definitely don't recommend Courant.
Courant is basically the standard Calc BC from Steward, with less pictures, less applications, *slightly* more abstract and more dense. In terms of insights for a math major, Courant is probably too "easy"...
Hi!
It's Christmas, and I got a pretty hefty sum of money from my family. Guess what I plan to do with it?=> Buy physics books of course! I'm so excited, I never really had enough money to buy the classic physics books I wanted, and now, I am left with a very difficult choice. I am a...
