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 '"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...
