Intro Physics Book Question (Practice/Exercise/Workbook/Problems on Basic Physics)

AI Thread Summary
For beginners seeking a physics workbook with exercises and solutions, recommendations often include well-known publishers like McGraw-Hill, John Wiley, and Cengage Learning. While Schaum's Outline is frequently suggested, it is noted that it is not from a major publisher and may not meet everyone's preferences. Some users express dissatisfaction with the Schaum's series and seek alternatives. Concerns are raised about Irodov's classic text, particularly its lack of fully solved problems, which may hinder learning for some students. Overall, the discussion emphasizes the importance of quality content over publisher reputation when selecting a physics workbook.

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...

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.
