AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around identifying a textbook related to simple harmonic motion, specifically referencing a photo from a ten-year-old forum thread. A user suggests searching for "15.3 Energy in Simple Harmonic Motion," which leads to a link from OpenStax's University Physics textbook. The conversation highlights that while the original book may not be found, the newer 2016 edition from OpenStax adequately covers the topic and satisfies the user's needs. The importance of this subject in freshman physics courses is also emphasized.

Big thanks! I tried googling, though I didn't find the same book. Probably that's because current openstax University Physics is newer (published in 2016). Nevertheless, I am satisfied with the new version too

One is for the beginner physicist [Mathematical Methods: For Students of Physics and Related Fields] and the other is [Mathematical Physics: A Modern Introduction to Its Foundations] for the advanced undergraduate / grad student. I'm a sophomore undergrad and I have taken up the standard calculus sequence (~3sems) and ODEs. I want to self study ahead in mathematics...
