Best Book for General Physics: A Comprehensive Guide for Engineering Graduates

AI Thread Summary
An engineering graduate with a keen interest in physics seeks recommendations for a comprehensive and easily understandable physics book. Suggestions include "The Feynman Lectures on Physics," which is noted for its depth but may require multiple readings for full comprehension. Other recommended titles are "Theoretical Physics" by Georg Joos and "Advanced Physics" from Oxford, both of which are available on Amazon. The focus is on finding a single resource that covers general physics concepts in detail.

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...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
