AI Thread Summary
Accessing syllabi and textbooks from universities that one does not belong to can be challenging, as many institutions do not publicly disclose this information. While some top universities like MIT, Stanford, and UC Berkeley provide course catalogs that may list textbooks for certain courses, this is not universally available. Typically, university departments maintain their own websites where course listings and descriptions can be found, and some may offer downloadable academic catalogs in PDF format. However, syllabi are often managed by individual faculty members, making it necessary to search through faculty listings to find specific course syllabi that may include textbook references. For those seeking to find out what books are used in courses at various universities, exploring departmental websites and academic catalogs is recommended, although the availability of this information can vary significantly between institutions.

Is there a way to see syllabus and textbooks of a university which I'm not belong to?
I visit website like course catalog of universities like MIT, Stanford, UC of Berkeley.
Some course of some major of some university reveal their textbook used in course but it seems generally that syllabus and textbook titles can't be viewed by public.
Please recommend website where I can find what books top schools use in courses or universities which let textbook title be viewed by public.

Univerisity departments usually have websites these days. One will often find a list of courses for each major, possibly with some description of the course contents and prerequisites. Some universities publish their course/academic catalogue in pdf.

However, each faculty member is responsible for the syllabi he or she uses, and one usually has to look under the faculty listings for the syllabus, which may have a reference to the textbook or textbooks used for the course.
 

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...
