Geometry Elementary Geometry: Power Series & Geometric Properties

AI Thread Summary
Recommendations for textbooks that define cosine and sine using power series while also exploring their geometric properties include John Roe's "Elementary Geometry," which is noted for its comprehensive approach. Although not available in the current university library, it is recognized for its advanced treatment of mathematics, including discussions on sine and cosine. The book is accessible for purchase online, providing an alternative for those seeking in-depth understanding of these concepts.

Could I get recommemdations for textbooks that start by defining cosine and sine using power series and then recover their geometric properties?

John Roe's "Elementary Geometry" does that, but it's not in my current university's library.

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...
