Introductory level physics ebooks

AI Thread Summary
For those seeking free resources on introductory electromagnetism using vector calculus and introductory quantum mechanics, the discussion highlights two valuable options. The first is the "Motion Mountain" ebook, a comprehensive 1500-page introductory physics text available at motionmountain.com, which covers both electromagnetism and quantum mechanics. The second recommendation is Ben Crowell's collection of introductory physics books, accessible at lightandmatter.com, including "Simple Nature," which is calculus-based. These resources provide a solid foundation in the subjects for learners at the introductory level.

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!

Thread 'How is Jackson’s Electrodynamics taught during undergraduate?'

I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
