Books on Selberg Trace /Noncommutative geometry

AI Thread Summary
A request for beginner-friendly books on noncommutative geometry and the Selberg Trace is made by a physicist with a foundational understanding of differential geometry, calculus, quantum mechanics, and mathematical physics. The recommended resource for exploring the Selberg Trace from a physics perspective is "Chaos in Classical and Quantum Mechanics" by Martin C. Gutzwiller, which is linked for further reference. The discussion emphasizes the need for accessible literature that bridges the gap between complex mathematical concepts and their applications in physics.

I am looking for a good book , for 'pedestrian (aka Dummies ) introduction to noncommutative geometry and another book about Selberg Trace.

I am a physicist, hence perhaps my math knowledge is not high i know

- a bit of differential geometry

- Calculus (real and complex)

- Quantum mechanics

- a bit of Mathematical Physics

if possible and someone can recommend me a book, thanks in advance,

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...
