Quantum Video lecture suggestion for Sakurai quantum mechanics Textbook
This might be late, but hopefully it will be useful to someone Alexander Maloney's lectures on QM using Sakurai He also has other excellent courses on his web page, I really liked his GR lectures, they were so superb http://www.physics.mcgill.ca/~maloney/- Saph

Classical Classical Mechanics: Kleppner-Kolenkow vs David Morin?
I revised my classical mechanics couple of years ago, and I used both books, My main source was K&K, which was superb in explaining the theory ( better than Morin's), but when it came to problems and problem solving techniques, Morin was better ( Also I like to add, the footnotes on Morin are...- Saph

Quantum Comparing Griffiths and Zettili for QM: Help Needed!
If you're planning to study Griffths elementary particles, then Zetilli will prepare you better ( I kid you not ), though If you can afford it, getting both books is better than just one.- Saph

Studying How to study from a Real Analysis textbook like this
Hello, I am taking a class in RA, where we're using Bartle/Sherbert. Since I have studied few chapters from it in the summer before, I decided to take a look at a more rigorous book, like baby rudin, but since many have advised against that book, I turned to Pugh's real mathematical analysis...- Saph

Undergrad What is the role of Dedekind cuts in constructing real numbers?
Hello, I am teaching my self real analysis from Pugh's Real Mathematical Analysis, and I came acrosse the construction of reals through Dedekind cuts, but am confused about the following: Dedekind cuts are defined as follows ( Pugh's page 11): A cut in ##Q## is a pair of subsets ##A,B ## of...- Saph

Which is the best book for quantum physics?
I highly recommend Shankar's QM(1) Book, it undergraduate/beginning graduate level, starts off with a chapter on the linear algebra that you need ( using Dirac's bra-ket notation), and then after a quick review of classical mechanics, proceeds to build the theory from the 'postulates' of Quantum...- Saph

Other Help getting self-education books on following subjects
Instead of buying textbooks, which are generally not very affordable, especially for high schooler, not to mention the currency difference and the shipping costs, I highly recommend you to watch online lectures from sth. like www.khanacademy.org, I think it has everything you need.- Saph

Stability of a teeter-toy-classical mechanics
Thank you very much sir, I think my problem was with English more than it was with physics, I thought what he meant be pivot is the joining point of the arms with the peg, now I got the solution right.- Saph

What type of calculus is in physics 1?
Yes you're right. I first wrote a long reply, then i noticed that he said " cal based physics 1" so I assumed that he meant physics at the level of K&K.- Saph
