    Landau Series
AI Thread Summary
"Mechanics" by Landau is highly recommended for its deep insights into physics, though it is noted for being condensed and challenging for beginners. Readers emphasize its value as a reference that benefits from repeated study. The volumes on statistical physics, quantum mechanics, and field theory are particularly praised. It's important to note that many books in the series were not authored solely by Landau. Overall, the series is considered essential for serious physics students.

I posted this in the Classical Physics subforum, but as few people actually visit that I'll repost it here.

I recently ordered "Mechanics", by Landau. It was recommened by my Classical Mechanics professor, and I was wondering whether any of you had experience with it.

As a second question, what are the other books in the series like? I'm particulary interested in the volumes on QM en fields, so any feedback would be welcome.

These are the best books you will find. They contain wonderful physics and extremely deep insights. However, usually they are too condensed and difficult for the introduction to the subject. You can read them over and over again and they are a very good reference. Statistical physics, Quantum mechanics and Theory of Fields are really great. Most of the books were not written by Landau, though.
 

Thread 'The Physics of unloading sand from a barge'

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
