Do you guys know wether Leonard Susskind is going to release the next theoretical minimum book which is expected to be focused on special relativity and electrodynamics?

Guys,can you all suggest a nice and decent book on quantam physics for a 16 year old.I really am in need of it.I don't want any textbooks but a book like "the brief history of space time" but only focussing on quantam physics and mainly string theory would be absolutely great.thank you.

Hello everyone I need a good book dealing with the mathematical foundations of GR. I am looking for a rigorous one but i don't need a book on Differential Geometry. Just the stuff i need for GR. Thanks for the replies!

Hi :) Okay so next month I have an exam in the course Mathematical Methods III and I desperately need a good textbook to study from. We covered variation calculus,fourier analysis and partial differential equations including sphrical harmonies (legendre polynomials) and various boundary...

Can anyone identity the book please? http://atao.ucsd.edu/258/bandbending.pdf i had some notes from this book. I need more info. with great difficulty I have been able to find the link. any leads will be very useful. thanks

Hi, I'm looking for a good book to study multivariable calculus from that would fit a proof-based undergraduate math course. The emphasis should be on RIGOROUS proofs, theorems and presentation of concepts. I really need a book that would be approachable for self-study with clear and...

Hello, I'm looking for some books which can help me to learn about hydraulic, pneumatic and fluid mechanics. Can someone advise me a good one ? Thank you !

if you can find it: https://libraryofbabel.info Site also has any book that ever will be written

Important: Would you please tell me which pages or sections in the Humongous Book are Cal 1 ( which I need for my online pre-req course in Cal 1) and/or which pages or sections Relate to Cal 2 (which I can skip)? Thank you :) Not important: I am taking an online course in Cal 1 but have to...

Dear Physics Forum friends, I am a college undergraduate in US with double majors in the mathematics and computer science. I have been doing research in the theoretical computer science, and I recently got interested in the quantum cryptography. Since I cannot take any physics course until...

I am a condensed matter grad. student, but do not work on Graphene. I am interested in learning about the fundamental physics in graphene (e.g. the need to use Dirac equation to represent the motion of electrons). I know that many books are there, but not all are geared towards fundamental...

Hey guys! Does exist a book/series of books that can be used as a fast reference when in need? I study computer engineering, but I'm now moving my interest towards embedded systems and I have to study again circuits, electronic, signal processing etc. I would like to have at hand knowledge...

Homework Statement [/B] Hello, two basic questions on the same topic and I think the book answer is wrong so I've posted both here if that's okay. Q1. What force is required to stretch a spring with spring constant 0.2 N/cm a distance of 5 cm? Q2. A vertical spring stretches 5 cm under a load...

I study physics and currently taking a mathematical physics course. One of the topics is group theory and we will see the following topics: Symmetries, discrete groups, homomorphisms, isomorphisms, continuous groups, and linear transformations in phase space. This topic will be covered with...

Exported all messages, but get an error when trying to export the address book. Only one .wab file on the computer and it's irrelevant. Wonder if a utility will recover. Is there a way to build a new contact list in Outlook from all of your messages without having to enter all manually?

Dear all, Can someone please recommend a english version of a linear algebra book. "Lineare algebra, Siegfried Bosch" I don't speak German so I cannot understand the chapters. If someone can help to identify a book with similar chapters that will be very helpful. you can find the full book...

When a book is made into a movie, the book usually has more detail than its movie. However, we say that a picture is worth a thousand words. How is that a movie is not able to convey everything that is present in the book? I often see movies removing a lot of detail than its corresponding novels...

What is the best book in solid state physics that contains problems and solutions?

I have heard that in my next semester, our quantum mechanics teacher will be giving a great emphasis on difficult integrals with the most of them having to do with gamma functions. Does anybody know a book(or any other source) that I can learn about and practice gamma functions integration...

Reading a book about 3d math, and I am confused as to what happened on this Vector Cross Product problem. I'm thinking there was just an error that wasn't caught. For the first row, instead of (3)(8)-(-4)(-5) shouldn't it have been (3)(8)-(4)(-5) and had the same displayed result of 44? And for...

Hi and thanks in advance for any help. The book I am currently working on features a protagonist that is an astronomer, I was hoping those more knowledgeable then I could check the passage where she describes her work and make sure it doesn't sound like gibberish. much appreciated. "Though she...

Could you recommend me a book or two treating the algorithms and their mathematical foundation, designs, and analysis? My main programming languages are C++ and Python.

Need a book to completely revise ED. Book not be of beginner level. Must be of Masters level. Thanks Attaching a list of topics that needs to be there in it. Electrostatics: Gauss’s law and its applications, Laplace and Poisson equations, boundary value problems. Magnetostatics: Biot-Savart...

I need some book on Electrostatics. I don't have knowledge in this field so I need something "beginner friendly", I mean it should cover this subject from very beginning. Thanks in advance.

Hello all, I am about a week into a quantum mechanics course in which the instructor is mostly going to follow along with Sakurai's Modern Quantum Mechanics. However, my linear algebra is pretty rusty and I have never taken an actual course in linear algebra, I have just learned what I have...

Hi I'm 16 years old, the physics and maths in school is really easy and it quickly becomes boring. So I wish to study outside of school, can you please recommend me some good books on calculus? I am a beginner in the subject and only know the big picture of what calculus actually is, so...

I recently took the decision to apply for physics grad school and registered for the GRE test coming up on Oct. 24, a couple of days ago. The thing is I feel I'm vastly under-prepared as my academic background is in engineering. I have had only a freshman course in physics. I've been recently...

It appears that I will be assigned to teach a modern physics course centered on quantum mechanics for those with almost no math background and I am searching for a suitable book. Essentially, this would be the modern physics equivalent of Paul Hewitt's Conceptual Physics book. I thought of...

Hey! :o Could you suggest a book of logic that contains definitions, like the definition of a language, of an (positive) existential formula, etc?

For college we have to write a 3000 word essay on a subject so an idea I had was to firstly explain the maths/physics behind music and then break up a piece of classical music into its sine waves. However, my acoustics knowledge is limited. Does anyone know of a good book/books that explain...

Hello there! I am searching for a good Physics book (or perhaps a combination of multiple) that does not jump over a lot of steps and explains everything (or at least a lot of it) from 0 up to University-level in easy language. Kudos if there is an e-book version free

I am an advanced 8th grader and I'm very interested in physics. However, I want to study calculus first (I know precaculus, but I will study it a bit further before beginning calculus). Does anyone have recommendations for good, interesting calculus books if my main goal in studying it now (as...

Hi all! I would like to learn the basics of information theory and want a good book to do so. My math level is that of a second year undergraduate physics student, but I don't mind if I have to struggle a bit through it. Thanks!

what is the best mathematics book for physicists ?or in what way should i study math if i need it for physics? . thanks!

I am going into my second year in undergrad,starting to look into the different disciplines and self study on what I might do in graduate school.But I haven't yet decided what I want to do in graduate(which is fine,I know).For the moment,I am drawn to climate science. So,I would appreciate any...
