Relativity Introduction to Special Relativity by Wolfgang Rindler

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the second edition of a specific textbook, highlighting the absence of an instructor's solution manual for this edition. Users noted that the Numerade website offers complete solutions for the first edition, raising questions about whether the second edition includes additional problems. It was confirmed that the second edition has 20 new problems, while some old problems may have been removed but could still be found on Numerade. The conversation emphasizes the distinction between finding solutions and actually solving problems, stressing the importance of mastering both skills to overcome challenges in learning.

I used in another username to ask questions from this book, its second edition.
I made a google search and didn't find any instructor's SM for the second edition, but it seems numerade website has complete solutions for questions from its first edition.
Did he add more problems to the second edition?
I guess I should give another visit to the univ library, a lot to read and solve.
Happy, happy, joy joy... :oldbiggrin:

So there are 20 new problems, and some old ones that got deleted but perhaps still appear in numerade, maybe.

i know.

But it's good to know how to do both so that you get unstuck when you hit a brick wall.
 

Thread '"WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

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...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

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...
