Hi everyone,

I am currently going through L&L slowly but surely (it's like 1 page Landau = 5 pages of notes/connections). I was wondering if anyone knew if there were any published errata for the series. Haven't found any in my Google searches. What I'm talking about is usually notational and can typically figure out where things go awry but would like a heads up as I go through the books (unless it's intentional for the learning process lol).

I bought the whole series about 30 years ago. I'd say that 2 out of 5 books had inserted one loose page of errata. These corrections were very minor, usually a small notation error. I wouldn't worry about them. The books are great otherwise.

Yes, I like it cold... 🙃
 
If there are errors in the textbooks it's of course not Landau who's wrong but whoever wrote his dictate down.:oldbiggrin:
