Classical Good book recommendations for the introduction of hydrodynamics

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the need for understanding hydrodynamics for a school project. A participant, with a background in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermal physics, and quantum mechanics, seeks resources for a quick grasp of hydrodynamics, including detailed derivations. Recommendations include "Physical Fluid Mechanics" by Tritton, noted as more suitable for physics rather than engineering applications. An additional resource mentioned is an online book from Caltech, which covers some unique topics in fluid mechanics. The emphasis is on finding appropriate texts that cater to both physics and engineering perspectives in fluid dynamics.

Our school's project need the knowledge of the hydrodynamics, and I hope the grasp the idea quickly (detail derivation is also fine) I studied mechanics, electromagnetism, thermal physics and quantum mechanics already. Thanks!

Physical fluid mechanics by Tritton
This is more of a physics book. If you are solving engineering problems, you probably will need an engineering text.

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!

Thread 'How is Jackson’s Electrodynamics taught during undergraduate?'

I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
