I recall looking at this book some 40 years ago and finding it in the category with books by Sterling Berberian, i.e. extremely clear and helpful at understanding the basic ideas and theorems of the subject. Ever since then I have recommended it to beginners in analysis and point set topology.

This is the sort of book that makes one exclaim "why didn't my course make this look so easy?" I.e. things you thought were hard do not look that way here. It is introductory. He explains the most fundamental parts of the subject from the beginning and makes them clear. There is a detailed review by Lee Carlson on the amazon link that gives all the contents.

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!

Thread 'How is Jackson’s Electrodynamics taught during undergraduate?'

I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
