help me--Please

Hello all :smile:
I hope that one will help me for the first time I put on a foreign forum
I am currently studying physics (unfortunately):cry:, I hate this article, I can not understand
The book provided by the university in his name (fundamentals of physics ---- 8th eaition - Jearl walker)
Is it possible to give me the names of books to help me end this nightmare
With all my thanks and gratitude to all
And accept the apology if it is serious mistakes in the language or writing :shy:
I am an Arab

Greetings!

The fact that you are an Arab is of no concern, however you need to be more specific in your request. Please do not post in colored font (it is hard for some to read) and do not underline your entire message.

Now, what are you asking?
 


I haven't used Walker's text in my classroom, but I've looked at it. Unfortunately, I think Walker's text is pretty much along the lines of standard texts. So, at the calculus-based level, I really have no strong recommendations. The text you have is probably as good as any others (it's an update of the classic Halliday and Resnick). But perhaps others have strong preferences and can make some recommendations.

Good luck, and welcome to the forums!
 
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...
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...
