AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on seeking supplementary reading materials to enhance understanding of Goldstein's work on classical mechanics. Participants recommend free downloadable lecture notes from Cambridge University as a valuable resource. Landau and Lifschitz's "Mechanics" is highlighted as an excellent companion text. Additionally, Dover publications are mentioned for their quality mechanics texts, specifically referencing a notable title available on Amazon. Another suggested book is "Analytical Dynamics: A New Approach" by Udwadia and Kalaba, which may provide further insights into the subject.

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...
