SUMMARY
This discussion provides a curated list of undergraduate-level books on applied mathematics, specifically focusing on fluid dynamics, electromagnetism, classical mechanics, and quantum mechanics. Recommended texts include G.K. Batchelor's "Introduction to Fluid Dynamics" and D.J. Tritton's "Physical Fluid Dynamics" for fluid dynamics. For classical mechanics, "The Feynman Lectures, vol 1" and Resnick and Halliday's "Physics, vol 1, 4th Ed." are highlighted. In electromagnetism, key texts are Purcell's "Berkeley Physics Series Vol 2" and Feynman's "The Feynman Lectures, Vol. 2". For quantum mechanics, Cohen-Tannoudji's "Quantum Mechanics I & II" and Feynman's "The Feynman Lectures, Vol. 3" are recommended.
