In summary, the conversation was about the Landau & Lifshitz series and whether there were any published errata for the books. The speaker mentioned that they were going through the series slowly and had not found any errata through Google searches. Another person shared that they had bought the series 30 years ago and found minor corrections in two of the books. The conversation then turned humorous as someone joked about hell freezing over and the possibility of errors in the textbooks.

Hi everyone,

I am currently going through L&L slowly but surely (it's like 1 page Landau = 5 pages of notes/connections). I was wondering if anyone knew if there were any published errata for the series. Haven't found any in my Google searches. What I'm talking about is usually notational and can typically figure out where things go awry but would like a heads up as I go through the books (unless it's intentional for the learning process lol).

I bought the whole series about 30 years ago. I'd say that 2 out of 5 books had inserted one loose page of errata. These corrections were very minor, usually a small notation error. I wouldn't worry about them. The books are great otherwise.

If there are errors in the textbooks it's of course not Landau who's wrong but whoever wrote his dictate down.:oldbiggrin:
