Mathematical Physics for Undergrad

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on selecting an appropriate textbook for an undergraduate mathematical physics course. Two primary options are considered: "Mathematical Methods: For Students of Physics and Related Fields" by Sadri Hassani and "Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences" by Mary L. Boas. Participants note that the choice depends on the class level, with some suggesting that Hassani's text is more advanced, while others argue that both texts are suitable for undergraduates. The conversation emphasizes the importance of matching the textbook to the course's difficulty and content requirements. A link to a related thread discussing Boas's text is also provided for further insights.

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

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!
