In summary, a first year master's degree student is seeking advice on which collection to start reading, Walter Greiner or Landau L.D., Lifgarbagez E.M. They are advised to try both from the library and make a decision based on their background. The expert also gives their personal opinion on the collections, stating that Landau has clear language but leaves some mathematical steps to the reader, while Greiner may have a weaker English translation but provides more detailed derivations. The student decides to start with Landau's collection.

I'm not familiar with Greiner, but Landau and Lifgarbagez is not a beginning text, so it depends upon your background.

You should probably get both at the library and find out which one suits you better. My short opinion on them: Landau has very clear language, but in very concise in the mathematical expressions, leaving many steps in derivations to you. Greiner fills in more of the steps, but may be less well written. I have also read bad things about the english translation of Greiner, which I can't comment on since I only used his german books.
