I used the book for self-study awhile back and worked through the first 80 pages. For me, it's a good, tough, book. The section on inequalities was especially difficult, but once I got it under my belt I really appreciated the struggle.

If you have any more questions, post them and I'll try to give you my best answers.
 
Very good and covers most of what you need for calculus .

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!
