Advanced Physics Textbook Series: Comprehensive Explanations & Derivations

[marcos]

I'm currently taking Advanced Modern Physics and Optics, among other things. Our textbooks aren't too keen on explaining things in detail and going into the exact proofs and formulations. I am looking for a physics book or series of physics books that actually explain everything in detail, including derivations (and the algebra used) to everything from hard mechanics to modern physics to quantum, e and M and optics...I know it sounds general but there has to be a series of books that's hardcore :[

Well, I don't get exactly what you want, but I think you should check Landau's "Course of Theoretical Physics" books.

I hope that helps.

Cheers .

Landau and Lif****z.

Have fun!
