Can I Handle Landau and Lifschitz Books on Theoretical Physics?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on whether a second-year electrical engineering student can tackle the Landau and Lifschitz series on theoretical physics. The student has completed courses in classical mechanics, electricity and magnetism, as well as single and multivariable calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations. Participants in the forum confirm that the student possesses the necessary mathematical background to engage with these advanced texts confidently.

PREREQUISITES
  • Classical Mechanics
  • Electricity and Magnetism
  • Single and Multivariable Calculus
  • Linear Algebra and Differential Equations
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the Landau and Lifschitz series for specific topics covered in each volume.
  • Review advanced mathematical techniques used in theoretical physics.
  • Study supplementary resources on classical mechanics and electromagnetism.
  • Join study groups focused on theoretical physics to enhance understanding.
USEFUL FOR

Students in electrical engineering, physics majors, and anyone interested in advancing their understanding of theoretical physics through the Landau and Lifschitz books.

Hello I just finished my second year at university, my major is electrical engineering.I took classical mechanics and electricity & magnetism and I really liked them.Do you think I can handle Landau and Lifschitz books on theoretical physics.I am concerned about the mathematics in the books, at university I've taken single and multivariable calculus, linear algebra and differential equations.
