Landau Lifshitz Course of Theoretial Physics

AI Thread Summary
Lamont, a graduate physics student, is seeking the complete series of "A Course of Theoretical Physics" by Landau and Lifgarbagez. He found a set on Flipkart for approximately 9000 Rs but is concerned about the quality of the books, as there are reports of receiving used or damaged copies. A participant in the discussion reassures him about their positive experiences with Flipkart, suggesting that issues with book condition may stem from delivery practices. Additionally, they recommend checking out bookstores at IISc Bangalore and IIT-M (Tata Bookhouse) as alternative sources for the complete series.

Hello,

Name is Lamont, new here. I am currently a graduate physics student.

I have been looking for A Course of Theoretical Physics by Landau and Lifgarbagez. I can find the books individually but I cannot find the whole series together. I found one site, Flipkart.com, that does seem to have them for ~ 9000 Rs which is cheap, but I was reading they sometimes send used and tattered books.

Does anyone know where I can buy the whole series as a set, preferably, but not necessarily, on the cheap (i.e. from outside of the US).

Thanks you all for your time.

My friends and I have ordered from flipkart many times and have always received books in good shape. The used and tattered condition may come about due to the people who are delivering it.

If you want some other source, IISc Bangalore has a bookstore and so does IIT-M (The Tata bookhouse). You can get the complete series here.
 
Thanks, appreciate it.
 
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...
