Can I Handle Landau and Lifschitz Books on Theoretical Physics?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a university student majoring in electrical engineering who has completed two years of study and enjoyed courses in classical mechanics and electricity & magnetism. The student is contemplating tackling the Landau and Lifshitz series on theoretical physics but expresses concern about the mathematical complexity involved. Responses indicate that the student possesses the necessary mathematical background, having completed single and multivariable calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations, suggesting that they should be capable of handling the material in these advanced physics texts.

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!
