The Physics of Waves by Georgi

(Oh and The Feynman Lectures on Physics, but those are only for online reading)

 

Hi Greg, the 3rd link's broken. Please, delete it altogether, because a newer link on the same website leads to a scanned copy of a book under copyright. (Schutz - A first course in General Relativity).

There are other broken links:

This link here contains again a scanned copy of a book under copyright:

Thanks, so many books.

Any priority on them?

Am just a begineer.
Top 10 would be great.
Like the David Letterman.

 

Thanks mate!

 

Thank you very much.

 

Thank you.

 

Thank you so much!

 

Thanks for the access to free books! I am just new here and I wish I should have know PF much sooner. I am sure this would benefit a lot of people especially the Physics educators and students. Thanks again!

 

Introductory Physics 1

Introductory Physics 2

Introductory Physics 3

 

Absolutely awesome! Glad I caught this thread on the homepage... off to work on calculus.Thanks a million!

 

This isnt a textbook but science-lounge.co.uk is a new science revision website which is being built. It allows you to read topics as they complete them. Not all the syllabus is there yet but the ones which have been written up are quite helpful.

 

Thanks for the links the books are cool, right now ejoying reading Discover Physics!

 

Thanks for the free books lol saved me a ton of time and money! :)

 

Thanks!

 

While these two aren't free textbooks as per se, they do an excellent job covering differential geometry aspects in particle physics with a good section on relativity in the second link.

http://arxiv.org/abs/0810.3328 A Simple Introduction to Particle Physics
http://arxiv.org/abs/0908.1395 part 2

Linde included his textbook into the arxiv archive, though older it still has good info.

http://arxiv.org/pdf/hep-th/0503203.pdf "Particle Physics and Inflationary Cosmology" by Andrei Linde

This link is handy on GR, he covers numerous examples of varying metrics and various artifacts of coordinate choices.

http://www.blau.itp.unibe.ch/newlecturesGR.pdf "Lecture Notes on General Relativity" Matthias Blau

This site does an excellent job on simplifying various aspects of particles as point like and wavelike, he also has an excellent section on the Higgs field.

Thanks for the books. I've always loved reading books about physics.

 

Third link is broken.

 

It's actually a download link. It should open by asking what directory you want to save it under.

 

The link ends in .ps instead of .pdf like the others. I think that it's a typo and should be this:
