Books: solid state, statistical, elementary particle physics

AI Thread Summary
Recommendations for textbooks in solid state physics, statistical physics, and elementary particle physics are discussed. Griffiths' book on elementary particles is considered a solid choice, with some suggesting it may be the best option. For statistical physics, Mandl's book is mentioned positively, indicating it is a good resource. There is uncertainty regarding solid state physics textbooks, with no specific recommendations provided. Additionally, "Electromagnetic Fields and Waves" by Lorian and Corson is highlighted as an excellent text for electromagnetism, while Robinett's quantum mechanics book is appreciated, though some express a desire for solutions to its problems. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of selecting the right textbooks for these advanced physics subjects.

Greetings

Next semester I'll have solid state physics, statistical physics and and introductionary course in elementary particles. So I was wondering maby those of you who had those subjects could recommend me some books.
I really liked books by Griffiths so far. Especially the one on QM which I am still reading together with Shankar's. So I was thinking about grabbing Griffith's book on elementary particles. But maby there is better?
As far as statistical physics go I haven't really picked one but I have heard that the one by Franz Mandl is good. Is it?
I am even less sure about solid state physics.
So I guess what I really mean is that suggestions are more than welcome!

thanks

Look at " Electromagnetic FIelds and Waves", by Lorian and Corson. Amazing Electromagnetism text!
Quantum Mechanics, I really like text by Robinett. ( I wish I had anwsers to some of his problems)
 

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...
