AI Thread Summary
The Nolting undergraduate physics series, particularly the two volumes on quantum mechanics, has recently been translated into English and is gaining attention. One reader finds the second volume impressive while ensuring there are no scientific errors, noting the series' relative obscurity outside Germany. However, another contributor expresses past dissatisfaction with the series, particularly criticizing the volume on electrodynamics for its confusing treatment of the Dirac delta distribution. Despite these concerns, the series appears to be popular among current students, suggesting improvements may have been made since the earlier editions.

I'm curious what you guys think of the Nolting undergraduate physics series, particularly his 2 books on quantum mechanics? Are they sufficient? Are there any errors in them?

Have they been translated to English? I have not seen anything negative about them, except being relatively unknown outside Germany.

Yes! All the nine volume are now available in English. I'm currently reading his second volume and I think it's terrific; I'm just making sure there isn't any scientific error in any of them, being relatively unknown as you said.

I've not looked into them for more than 20 years. When I was a student and also a teaching assistant, I didn't like them too much. Particularly the volume about electrodynamics was a bit confusing for me as well as the students in my tutorials in its very sloppy use of the Dirac-##\delta## distribution. Since they seem to be pretty popular among the students also today, I guess, they are better now.

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.
