Quantum Theory: Physics Equations Book

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the search for a comprehensive book that lists and describes physics equations, particularly those related to quantum theory. While no specific book solely dedicated to listing equations is identified, participants suggest resources like Feynman's Lectures on Physics and various handbooks of physics formulae that serve as references. Key equations mentioned include Newton's second law (F = ma), the Schrödinger equation (Hψ = Eψ), and Maxwell's equations (∂μFμν = 0). The conversation emphasizes the utility of handbooks for quick reference rather than in-depth learning.

I was wondering if there was a book that listed and described the majority of physics equations, especially the ones pertaining to quantum theory?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I don't know why you'd want that particular kind of book, and I don't know of one that just lists equations. What are you trying to learn?
 
Feynman's Lectures on Physics, Volumes I II and III ? :smile:
 
F = ma

H\psi = E\psi

\partial_\mu F^{\mu \nu} = 0

What else is there to know?
 
thank you tiny tim
 
This thread only works as a summary from the original source: List of STEM Masterworks in Physics, Mechanics, Electrodynamics... The original thread got very long and somewhat hard to read so I have compiled the recommendations from that thread in an online (Google Drive) spreadsheet. SUMMARY Permits are granted so you can make comments on the spreadsheet but I'll initially be the only one capable of edition. This is to avoid the possibility of someone deleting everything either by mistake...
By looking around, it seems like Dr. Hassani's books are great for studying "mathematical methods for the physicist/engineer." One is for the beginner physicist [Mathematical Methods: For Students of Physics and Related Fields] and the other is [Mathematical Physics: A Modern Introduction to Its Foundations] for the advanced undergraduate / grad student. I'm a sophomore undergrad and I have taken up the standard calculus sequence (~3sems) and ODEs. I want to self study ahead in mathematics...
