Problems in Undergraduate Physics

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on several physics textbooks authored by notable figures, including S. P. Strelkov and V. L. Ginzburg, covering topics such as mechanics, electricity and magnetism, optics, and molecular physics. A user inquires about experiences with these books, specifically seeking opinions on their content and difficulty level compared to Irodov's well-known physics problems. The conversation highlights a lack of responses regarding familiarity with these texts, indicating a potential gap in community knowledge or experience with them. The user expresses interest in understanding the complexity of the problems presented in these books relative to Irodov's challenges.

v.1. Mechanics, by S. P. Strelkov [and] I. A. Yakovlev.
v.2. Electricity and magnetism, by S. P.Strelkov, I. A. El'tsin, and S. E. Khaikin.
v.3. Optics, by V. L. Ginzburg [and others]
v.4. Molecular physics, thermodynamics, atomic and nuclear physis, by V. L. Ginzburg [and other]

Does anyone have experience of any of these books? I currently have the 1st and 2nd book, but I haven't started working on them. If you have worked with any of the books, any opinions?

How is the difficulty of the problems compared to something like Irodov's?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
anyone?
 
so no one knows anything about the book(s)?

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!

Thread 'How is Jackson’s Electrodynamics taught during undergraduate?'

I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
