This discussion highlights recommended undergraduate-level physics books published by Springer, particularly during their current 50% discount promotion. Key titles include "Chen Plasma Physics," "Courant and Friedrichs Supersonic Flows and Shock Waves," and Greiner's series, especially the volumes on "Field Quantization" and quantum mechanics. Additionally, Schwabl's quantum books and Adler's new General Relativity book are noted for their accessibility and comprehensive coverage of necessary tensor calculus. Other valuable mentions include "Foundations of QM" by Travis Norsen and "Mathematical Physics" by V. Balakrishnan.
PREREQUISITESThis discussion is beneficial for undergraduate physics students, educators seeking quality textbooks, and anyone interested in enhancing their understanding of physics through reputable Springer publications.
Is this book accessible to someone who has never studied SR in depth but who has studied the other major branches (QM,SM,CM,EM) of physics at the grad level (and who has studied math at the level of e.g. Baby Rudin and Axler)? I came across it and it looks great but want to make sure it's not too much.Frabjous said:In case you want an advanced special relativity book (definitely not undergraduate)

If you studied also differential geometry at this level, the book should be accessible.EE18 said:Is this book accessible to someone who has never studied SR in depth but who has studied the other major branches (QM,SM,CM,EM) of physics at the grad level (and who has studied math at the level of e.g. Baby Rudin and Axler)?
