What Are the Best Books Comparable to Analytical Mechanics by Fowles & Cassiday?

AI Thread Summary
For those seeking books on Mechanics comparable to "Analytical Mechanics" by Fowles & Cassiday, recommendations include "Marion and Thornton" and "Symon." "Symon" is noted for its detailed approach, offering more depth than Fowles, making it a valuable resource for both undergraduate and graduate studies in Mechanics. Both texts have been found helpful for reviewing complex concepts in the field.

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...
