AI Thread Summary

Recommendations for linear algebra books suitable for those studying quantum mechanics include "Linear Algebra" by Hoffman and Kunze, which is noted for its rigorous approach. Other suggested titles include "Linear Algebra Done Right" by Sheldon Axler, which emphasizes vector spaces and linear transformations, and "Introduction to Linear Algebra" by Gilbert Strang, known for its clear explanations and applications. For those interested in multilinear and tensor topics, "Tensor Analysis on Manifolds" by R. B. N. S. and "Matrix Analysis" by Roger A. Horn and Charles R. Johnson are also mentioned. These resources aim to strengthen foundational knowledge in linear algebra, essential for advanced studies in quantum mechanics.

Anyone have a recommendation for a good linear algebra book (Maybe one that dabbles in multilinear/tensor stuff, too)?

I'm doing QM at the level of Sakurai, but finding my linear algebra background to be a little lacking as I venture into the deep dark depths of chapter 3.

Thread 'Physics Introduction book'

Hi, I'm an undergraduate physics student and I'm currently in my second week of the first semester. I wonder if I should use Sears and Zemansky's University Physics or Halliday and Resnick's Fundamentals of Physics as my book reference. Which one do you guys think is the best? or if there's any better book out there please let me know! =)
