Algebra Lie Groups and Lie Algebras by Robert Gilmore

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the book "Lie Groups and Lie Algebras and Some of Their Applications" by Robert Gilmore, highlighting a related series of YouTube lectures by the user "XylyXylyX." Participants express skepticism about the book being free since it is available for purchase on Amazon, suggesting that Dover Publications, known for reissuing older texts, likely needs to generate revenue from such publications. The conversation reflects on the implications of the book's availability and pricing.

Right, I didn't it think it through.
 

Thread '"WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

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...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

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...
