Which Academic Book on Quantum Physics is Best for Beginners?

AI Thread Summary
For those seeking a beginner's academic book on quantum physics, Griffiths' book is highly recommended as a foundational text. Following that, Shankar's book and Sakurai's "Modern Quantum Mechanics" are suggested for deeper understanding. These resources are noted for their clarity and thorough explanations, addressing the need for comprehensive coverage of concepts and equations in quantum physics.

Thanks :)

Thread '"WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

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...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
