AI Thread Summary

For beginners in particle physics, it's recommended to start with accessible introductory books that cater to those with a background in engineering and basic mathematics. A solid understanding of fundamental physics concepts is essential, even if advanced particle physics courses have not been taken. Suggested resources should bridge the gap between engineering principles and the complexities of particle physics, ensuring that the mathematical requirements are manageable for someone with a foundational knowledge in math and basic physics. Engaging with these materials will help build a stronger grasp of particle physics concepts and prepare for more advanced studies in the field.

I am doing bachelors in Engineering Sciences. So I know Maths but on the physics front I have not studied any single course related to particle physics. Just the beginners courses for engineers like mechanics

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!

Thread 'How is Jackson’s Electrodynamics taught during undergraduate?'

I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
