I'm looking for something that covers similar material to Electromagnetism, Grant and Phillips (Manchester Physics Series), but is shorter and easier to read through - I find Grant and Phillips useful (and will buy it), but could really do with a summary/outline to build on.

Any recommendations that I can check out? :)

It sounds like Nayfeh and Brussel would be at about the same level. This book has tons of worked examples.

Thanks - one of the copies in my uni library is on loan, which has to be a good sign! Will check it out when I'm next in uni :smile:
 
TL;DR Summary: Book after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics I am doing a comprehensive reading of sakurai and I have solved every problem from chapters I finished on my own, I will finish the book within 2 weeks and I want to delve into qft and other particle physics related topics, not from summaries but comprehensive books, I will start a graduate program related to cern in 3 months, I alreadily knew some qft but now I want to do it, hence do a good book with good problems in it first...
TLDR: is Blennow "Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering" a good follow-up to Altland "Mathematics for physicists"? Hello everybody, returning to physics after 30-something years, I felt the need to brush up my maths first. It took me 6 months and I'm currently more than half way through the Altland "Mathematics for physicists" book, covering the math for undergraduate studies at the right level of sophystication, most of which I howewer already knew (being an aerospace engineer)...
