Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the sharing of various online resources related to physics, mathematics, and engineering. Participants are compiling links to textbooks, lecture notes, research papers, and educational websites, covering a wide range of topics including gravitational waves, classical mechanics, relativity, and quantum theory.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Resource sharing

Main Points Raised

  • One participant mentions organizing links into a document for easier access.
  • Another highlights the importance of an online preprint server for high-energy and relativity papers, noting its accessibility.
  • Several links to educational resources are shared, including John Baez's website, which contains physics FAQs and relativity links.
  • A participant shares a link to a course on gravitational waves, emphasizing its suitability for advanced students and professionals transitioning into the field.
  • Multiple resources for classical physics, including textbooks and lecture notes, are listed, with some participants noting their usefulness for studying various physics topics.
  • Links to resources on special and general relativity are provided, including lecture notes and significant papers by Einstein.
  • Quantum theory resources are also shared, including free textbooks and lecture notes from various institutions.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the value of the resources being shared, but there is no consensus on which specific links or resources are the most useful, as preferences vary among individuals.

Contextual Notes

Some links are reported as broken, and there are mentions of resources being in different languages, which may limit accessibility for some users. The discussion does not resolve the effectiveness or reliability of the shared resources.

Who May Find This Useful

This discussion may be useful for students, educators, and professionals in physics and related fields looking for comprehensive online resources for study and research.

If this is somewhere in this thread, I am sorry :O But what/where is the database that collects all publications from physics-related peer-reviewed journals?

In biological sciences we've got the national center for biotechnology information at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed/ where every single published articles gets archived.

What would be the physics equivalent? Not speaking about Xarchiv, since that is not peer-reviewed, is it?

I'm not sure if there is a archive, but a couple databases are:
web of science -- http://isiknowledge.com
inspec -- can't get a url, the university sends us through a proxy so I can't see the url.

Both these might be a paid service.

APS has everything indexed for everyone to see, you just need a subscription to view the articles.

Does anyone have any Intro to Biology online texts?

http://occawlonline.pearsoned.com/sms_files/campbell6e_awl/login.html

This is the 6th edition of Biology by Campbell and Reece, the text we used in my General Bio course. The user name and password are chocolatejesus12 and jenny21. They still work. It has the complete text (under e-book) as well as pictures, diagrams, and activities you can do.

Here are the Feynman lectures, but only volume one is available.
