Mathematically rigorous physics books

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on identifying textbooks that present physics in an axiomatic and mathematically rigorous manner. A Unified Grand Tour of Theoretical Physics is highlighted as a valuable introductory resource. Participants suggest branching out to other mathematical physics texts, including works by John Baez and Javier Muniain, L.D. Faddeev, and Gerald Folland. These recommendations emphasize the importance of a strong mathematical foundation in understanding advanced physics concepts. The conversation reflects a keen interest in resources that balance theoretical depth with clarity.

What are some good textbooks that treat physics in an axiomatic and mathematically rigorous fashion? I came across a cheap copy of A Unified Grand Tour of Theoretical Physics and so far it seems to be a good overview of physics. What books would serve to branch off from this book?

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!
