I'm going to be self-studying Tipler's modern physics over the summer. I just got the third edition for $7.71 off eBay and it's in pristine condition :)

I am trying to find a detailed syllabus instead of me reading every page and doing every problem.

I have found some syllabi but they only give assigned problems. I am having a hard time doing a self-study. It's hard to remain on task with no guidance and so much material.

Any suggestions from those who do this often?
 


Hello! Congratulations on finding a great deal on Tipler's Modern Physics textbook. It's always exciting to save money while still getting a high-quality resource. As for your request for a syllabus, I recommend checking with your school or university's physics department to see if they have a syllabus for the course that uses Tipler's textbook. They may be able to provide you with a detailed outline of the topics covered and the corresponding chapters in the book. If you are self-studying, you can also create your own syllabus by looking at the table of contents in the book and breaking it down into manageable sections to cover over the summer. Additionally, you can search online for study guides or course outlines that may have been created by other students or instructors. Best of luck with your self-study journey!
