Suggestions for must-have titles include "Visual Complex Analysis," "Understanding Analysis," and "Linear Algebra Done Right," among others. It is advised to compare prices between the UK and US websites, as both offer free delivery, and the discount applies to both.

http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/spr...t=Main-promo&utm_campaign=May10offCoupon-2011


I would like to buy some cheap books..mainly for self study (in summer perhaps)
I am leaning to some Dover books..
some backgrounds, I am a Physics major in my second year..
I have learned ODE, Calc 1-3, Linear Algebra and intro physics..

Anyone has any suggestion? like must-have books for physics major..?
I wanted to buy Applied Analysis by Lanczos..but it's out of stock..
 
Physics news on Phys.org


Its always best to check the prices on both websites as both have free delivery but sometimes the UK is cheaper, other times the US website is cheaper. Discount works on both

Also if you order from the US (.com) website your order is still shipped from the UK, so delivery time will be the same.

(No, these aren't the ones I ordered)

Many Dover books are criminally cheap right now. The Schaum's series is pretty inexpensive, too.

I already have books for Analysis , Linear Algebra and Complex Analysis..

Chicago lectures in Physics seems interesting though
 
The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
