Hey I purchased this book and was wondering how hard do you think this book is?

Irodov is, in my opinion, one of the best problem books in general physics.
Solving problems from Irodov, will give you a really good conceptual understanding of the subject and will do wonders to your confidence.
Be warned, some of the problems are *Really* hard and require a lot of thought. But that shouldn't put you off from attempting the problems from the book.

I agree. And don't give up from the rest of the problems if you get blown away from the first one or two... :)
 
Where can I find Irodov's book on the net? (It's unavailable at amazon.com)
 

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...
