SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the need for advanced physics textbooks that incorporate higher-level mathematics, specifically differential equations, multivariable calculus, complex analysis, and linear algebra. The user seeks recommendations for books covering classical mechanics, thermodynamics, fluids, electromagnetism, and optics that utilize these mathematical concepts. A suggestion is made to search for resources under "mathematical physics" or "mathematical methods for physics" to find suitable materials.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of differential equations
  • Knowledge of multivariable calculus
  • Familiarity with complex analysis
  • Proficiency in linear algebra
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "mathematical physics" textbooks
  • Explore "mathematical methods for physics" resources
  • Investigate specific books on classical mechanics that incorporate advanced mathematics
  • Look for advanced texts on thermodynamics and fluids using higher-level math
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, mathematicians transitioning to physics, and educators seeking advanced resources that integrate higher mathematics into physics concepts.

Hi, I've been studying mathematics for some years and now for some reasons I have to study introductory subjects in physics. I've looking at some books but the mathematics they use is very basic, are there some books on classical mechanics, thermodynamics, fluids, electromagnetism and optics that uses differential equations, multivariable calculus, complex analysis, linear algebra, etc?

It would be fine to start with some of those books or should I start with basic books to understand concepts in physics and then move on to something more advanced?

Thanks in advance.

google for "mathematical physics" or "mathematical methods for physics".
