The discussion centers on the Nolting undergraduate physics series, specifically the two volumes on quantum mechanics. Participants are exploring the sufficiency of these texts, potential errors, and their reception among students, particularly in the context of their translation into English.
The discussion reveals mixed opinions about the Nolting series, with some participants expressing positive views while others recall negative experiences. There is no consensus on the overall quality or reliability of the texts.
Participants reference personal experiences and perceptions that may be influenced by their specific educational contexts and timeframes. There is mention of potential scientific errors, but no specific examples are provided.
Students and educators interested in undergraduate physics texts, particularly those exploring quantum mechanics, may find this discussion relevant.
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.dextercioby said:Have they been translated to English? I have not seen anything negative about them, except being relatively unknown outside Germany.
