AI Thread Summary
Recommended textbooks for quantum and modern physics include "Modern Quantum Mechanics" by J.J. Sakurai for graduate students and "Quantum Physics" by Stephen Gasiorowicz for undergraduates. "Zettili" is also suggested as a solid undergraduate option. "Griffiths" is noted as a classic introductory text that simplifies concepts but may leave readers wanting more depth. "Principles of Quantum Mechanics" by Shankar is mentioned as a suitable intermediate level text, bridging the gap between Griffiths and Sakurai. Overall, these recommendations cater to varying levels of understanding in quantum physics.

Good luck
 
I liked Zettili for an undergrad book;
https://www.amazon.com/dp/0470026790/?tag=pfamazon01-20

The classic undergrad text is girffiths which is light on the math and thus a good intro into the concepts. But it does leave one desiring more.

I think that Gasiorowicz are very similar to Zettili, So both books are good choices.
 
I like Principles of Quantum Mechanics - Shankar. This text is between the levels of Griffiths and Sakurai.
 
Thank you. I'm overwhelmed

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. Please feel free comment regarding items you want to be included, or if a link is broken etc. Note: I will not post links to other collections, each link will point you to a single item. :book:📚📒 [FONT=trebuchet ms]Introductory college/university physics College Physics, Openstax...
