Functions Orthogonal

AI Thread Summary

Legendre's Polynomials and orthogonal functions are essential for solving scattering problems in physics. For quick learning resources, Folland's "Fourier Analysis and Its Applications" is recommended, particularly Chapter 6, which focuses on orthogonal polynomials. This text provides a solid foundation for understanding the application of these mathematical concepts in specific problems.

Can anyone tell me where can I learn about Legendre's Polynomial and Orthogonal functions in a jiffy? I've to use it to solve my scattering problem. I know a thing or two about it but don't know how to use in a specific problem.

I like Folland "Fourier analysis and its applications". Chapter 6 deals with orthogonal polynomials.

Thread 'Book recommendation after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics'

TL;DR Summary: Book after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics I am doing a comprehensive reading of sakurai and I have solved every problem from chapters I finished on my own, I will finish the book within 2 weeks and I want to delve into qft and other particle physics related topics, not from summaries but comprehensive books, I will start a graduate program related to cern in 3 months, I alreadily knew some qft but now I want to do it, hence do a good book with good problems in it first...
