Intro Physics Differences in problems between fundamentals of physics and principles

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the differences between "Fundamentals of Physics" and "Principles of Physics," both authored by Halliday, Resnick, and Walker. Key points include the variation in the number and difficulty of questions presented in each textbook, while the theoretical content and derivations are treated similarly across both editions. The importance of specifying authors when discussing textbooks is emphasized, as many books share similar titles, which can lead to confusion. A link to a Quora discussion is provided for additional context on the differences between the two texts.

There is a difference in the questions (amount, difficulty) between fundamentals of physics extended 11th edition and principles of physics 11th edition? And both textbooks treat the theory the same in terms of derivations?

Unless you provide the names of the authors, we will not know what books you are talking about. There are many books with essentially the same title.

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...
