AI Thread Summary

The discussion centers on the concept of barycenter and its calculations, recalling that it was covered in high school, possibly in the context of affine geometry. Participants express a need for resources, specifically books that address barycenter calculations, as precalculus materials do not provide sufficient information. A link to a relevant book on Amazon is shared, which offers a preview of the first chapter, suggesting it may contain the needed information on the topic.

Thread 'Blennow to follow up Altland?'

TLDR: is Blennow "Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering" a good follow-up to Altland "Mathematics for physicists"? Hello everybody, returning to physics after 30-something years, I felt the need to brush up my maths first. It took me 6 months and I'm currently more than half way through the Altland "Mathematics for physicists" book, covering the math for undergraduate studies at the right level of sophystication, most of which I howewer already knew (being an aerospace engineer)...

Thread 'Physics Introduction book'

Hi, I'm an undergraduate physics student and I'm currently in my second week of the first semester. I wonder if I should use Sears and Zemansky's University Physics or Halliday and Resnick's Fundamentals of Physics as my book reference. Which one do you guys think is the best? or if there's any better book out there please let me know! =)
