AI Thread Summary

For beginners in computational physics with a background in C programming and some knowledge of numerical analysis, "Numerical Recipes" is highly recommended as a foundational text. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to numerical methods and algorithms, specifically tailored for implementation in C. It covers essential topics in computational physics and offers practical examples, making it suitable for those without experience in other programming languages like Python, Java, or Fortran. Additionally, readers may benefit from exploring supplementary resources that focus on computational techniques and their applications in physics, ensuring a well-rounded understanding of the field.

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...
