Free (open sourceish?) physics book

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around finding online resources, particularly PDFs, that cover topics related to magnets, magnetism, and magnetic forces in-depth, without delving into unconventional theories. Participants mention several valuable resources, including MIT's OpenCourseWare, which offers course notes on electromagnetism and other physics topics. They highlight the availability of free PDFs and Creative Commons materials through a simple Google search. The Feynman lectures are also noted as accessible via torrent, though copyright concerns are raised. Additionally, a suggestion is made to explore free science resources from various universities for further lecture notes and books.

Anyone know of one online? A PDF would be awesome. Also, if it delves into magnets, magnetism and magnetic forces in-depth (nothing too crazy, no new whacky theories), that would hit gold, gold I tell ya!

... + other topics: have a play.
(A lot of colleges have been putting their course-notes online.)

The Feynman lectures are available in a torrent - though I don't think they will be out of copyright and I don't know the terms.

There's quite a few pdf's for gratis and even cc download within an easy google and they look very similar. Which level are you looking for?

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...
