Well it appears Fluids is a field not so big in this forum, which is a shame. That's awesome that you're taking a course in such a awesome field. From what I can gather, Wilcox's book is one of many introductions out there. I haven't seen a TOC but I think it is a good choice given the reviews...

Thank you so much for your response! I feel more optimistic at what needs to be done now.

Hi all, I'm writing this post because my current situation appears to be allowing me the possibility to go back to graduate school. Where, I'm not sure but we'll have to see. A brief background is that when I was admitted to graduate school, I was set to work with a professor regarding fluid...

Well depending on how he wants to approach it, Griffiths and Shankar would be pretty good intros along with "Modern Physics" by Tipler as the starting point. And if he wants a Quantum technical book WITH philosophy then I suggest the books by Michael Epperson and Timothy Eastman. I don't know if...

Reading and going through Quantum Field Theory for the Gifted Amateur by Lancaster and Blundel. So far it has been very enjoyable.

I enjoy these books, especially Fluid Mechanics. Along with Batchelor, it provides a no-nonsense development of the field. Has anyone run into typos of these editions? I'm just wondering since my 3rd favorite of the set, Physical Kinetics, is also my least familiar (in terms of the equations)...

Depending which field you'll want to end up in, one must remember that even the titans of the 20th century are starting to gather dust. Of course, it doesn't mean that one shouldn't be a generalist nor ignore the powerful inspiration of those who have come before us. Physics, especially...

Hi everyone, I am currently going through L&L slowly but surely (it's like 1 page Landau = 5 pages of notes/connections). I was wondering if anyone knew if there were any published errata for the series. Haven't found any in my Google searches. What I'm talking about is usually notational and...

I am a polymath who enjoys music, literature, philosophy, and physics. Have three degrees, Bachelors in Engineering and Physics, and a MSc. in Physics. Currently on a path to rebuild my interests after a catastrophic time at grad school (the prof I wanted to work with and reason why I applied...
