Since it comes up so often, would it be a good idea to sticky a thread on book recommendations? It seems to especially come up a lot in this forum...
Just a thought.

qspeechc said:M&T is the only book, I believe, covering classical mechanics at an undergrad level, so you're pretty much stuck with it.
jokkon said:I am looking for a book on basic statistical physics and kinetic theory. Is there any books that sort of helps you transition from thermal physics to statistical mechanics? I used Thermal Physics by Ralph Baierlein

But I am looking for something a little bit more fundamental and beginnerish. I noticed quite a few ppl put Statistical Physics by Huang. Is that a good book for beginner? ty in advance
A good book recommendation is one that takes into account the reader's personal preferences and interests. It should also include a brief explanation of why the book is being recommended and what makes it worth reading.
There are many ways to find book recommendations, including asking friends and family, browsing online book communities or forums, following book bloggers or reviewers, and using book recommendation websites or apps.
It ultimately depends on the source of the recommendation and how well you align with their reading preferences. It may be helpful to read reviews from multiple sources and consider the overall consensus before deciding to read a recommended book.
You can determine if a book recommendation is right for you by considering the genre, synopsis, and reviews of the book. You can also read a sample or preview of the book before committing to reading it.
No, it is not necessary to always follow book recommendations. It is important to remember that everyone has different tastes and preferences, and what may be a great book for one person may not be enjoyable for another. It is okay to politely decline a recommendation or to give a book a chance and decide for yourself if you like it.
