List of Undergrad Physics texts.

AI Thread Summary
For self-study in physics, particularly for someone pursuing an Electrical Engineering degree, several recommended texts complement "Fundamentals of Physics" by Halliday, Resnick, and Walker. Notable suggestions include John Taylor's "Classical Mechanics," David Griffiths' books on Quantum Mechanics and Electromagnetism, and Liboff's Quantum Mechanics text. Additionally, Reif's work on Statistical Mechanics is highlighted as a valuable resource. While some texts may focus on Space Physics, they could still be beneficial for a broader understanding of physics concepts.

Other than "Fundamental of Physics" by Halliday, Resnick and Walker, I'd like to know a few more good texts used in 4-year undergrad degree? I'm doing EE right now and I'd like to study Phsyics on my own.

thanks.

John Taylor (Mr Wizard)'s Classical Mechanics.
David Griffith's QM & E&M books are good.
Liboff's QM book.
Reif for Statistical Mechanics

Gonna need these for sure. I have them and it worked out great for me. But this is Space Physics though, not sure an EE is going to enjoy them much but its worth a look. :approve:

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
This is part 2 of my thread Collection of Free Online Math Books and Lecture Notes Here, we will consider physics and mathematical methods for physics resources. Now, this is a work in progress. Please feel free comment regarding items you want to be included, or if a link is broken etc. Note: I will not post links to other collections, each link will point you to a single item. :book:📚📒 [FONT=trebuchet ms]Introductory college/university physics College Physics, Openstax...
