Question on the ending of "A Clockwork Orange"
Hi everybody,
Hope this counts as a brain teaser. Anyways I watched a movie called "A Clockwork Orange" by Stanley Kubrick the other day and was a bit confused at the ending. I was wondering why the doctors reversed Alex's treatment? I thought...
Hey dx, first let me say thanks for posting. It is sometimes hard to get people to reply and I appreciate it. Onto the book, I looked over the table of contents at amazon and it looks good by first inspection. Also, the solutions to problems is a huge factor in my decision whether or not to buy...
Does anybody know a good introductory book on PDEs? I am a physics major and something applied is what I'm looking for. It must have a good amount on Fourier methods too. Thanks.
First off thanks for posting Malawi Glenn. I am looking for a more "textbook" style emphasizing Fourier methods, Laplace Methods, Bessel functions, and general stuff on differential and integral equations. Other stuff such as boundary value problems, calculus of variations, analytic functions...
Does anyone know of a good advanced undergraduate mathematical physics book with answers for self study? I hear good things about the Mary Boas book, but want more opinions. Thanks!
Thanks Bozon. Since I first posted the topic, I have been talking to other students and grad students around the physics dept. about Liboff. Most agreed it was an OK book at best. Also, many told me that Griffiths is the best for a student first entering QM. So I think I will study Griffiths...
I recommend Ordinary Differential Equations by Pollard and Tenenbaum. It's a Dover book--only costs about 20 bucks too. Besides the vast amount of info on ODE's, the sections on Laplace Transforms are the best. I would advise against using Differential Equations by Edwards and Penney for...
I agree with div, grad... and Morris and Tenenbaum's ODE's. Excellent books. Have you heard of Mathematics of Classical and Quantum Physics by Byron and Fuller? Is that any good?
I used University Physics by Young and Freedman during my general physics classes and highly recommend it. Excellent problem sets at the end of each chapter too. When I first used it though, I thought it was way too wordy, but now that I have matured in physics, I think that the book really...
At our university we use Introductory Quantum Mechanics by Liboff 4th ed. What are your opinions on that book? I write this as a physics undergrad going to take QM next spring and looking for a decent well explained QM book to study over the summer. I also have a strong math background in Calc...
