Other Chinese math books at undergraduate and graduate level

AI Thread Summary
Chinese mathematics and physics textbooks at both undergraduate and graduate levels are recognized for their rigor and the inclusion of challenging problems. The discussion highlights the quality of these textbooks, suggesting that they are comparable to those found in smaller countries like Croatia, which also has strong educational resources in these fields. There is a mention of historical context, noting that some Chinese textbooks were once translations of Russian works, indicating a tradition of high academic standards. Overall, the consensus is that Chinese academic texts in these subjects are indeed valuable for their difficulty and problem-solving opportunities.

I don't know if there's anyone here from China, but I'll make this question the same way. I'd like to know if the Chinese books of Mathematics and Physics at undergraduate and graduate level are good (that is, if these books contain many challenging problems)?

I don't speak Chinese but I speak Croatian, and I can tell that there are good math and phys undergraduate books in Croatian. If little Croatia has good undergraduate books, I am absolutely convinced that China has them too.

Unless you used a translator, it appears that you speak English quite well; why do you need Chinese textbooks?

If I recall correctly, some of the books used in China back in the day, were translations of Russian textbooks? I can be wrong.

Of course!Most of the math and physics textbooks from China are extremely difficult and are filled with hard problems.
 

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...
