AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the durability and quality of hardcover books published by CRC Press, comparing them to those from Springer. Participants express concerns about the binding and materials used in newer editions, questioning whether they are as sturdy as older books, particularly a 40-year-old CRC Press book that has remained intact. Although there are worries about the potential for newer books to fall apart, users report that none of their recent purchases have shown signs of deterioration yet. Overall, the conversation highlights a focus on the longevity and quality of bookbinding in CRC Press publications over time.

Is anyone familiar with the books printed by CRC Press? Not the actual content of the book, but the materials used for the hardcover books. Ie., do they fall apart like Springer's books printed today? Or are they made with better binding.

I have one that's 40 years old and has held up well in that time. But what does that say other than that they were made well 40 years ago?

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...
