AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on attending graduate-level lectures in Radiobiology, utilizing a key textbook recognized as a foundational resource in the field. The instructor, an MD with a focus on radiation biology, is part of the physics department. The participant, who has a PhD in nuclear physics and limited background in microbiology, seeks recommendations for additional books that could serve as supplements or alternatives to the primary textbook. Relevant links to resources on medical physics and radiology literature are shared, indicating a desire for comprehensive understanding and exploration of the subject matter.

I will be sitting in on some lectures on Radiobiology being taught down the road from me. They will be using https://www.amazon.com/dp/0781741513/?tag=pfamazon01-20 which I have found is considered the "bible" for radiation biology. The class is a graduate level class taught out of the physics department by an MD who does research in radiation biology.

Does anyone have any suggestions of other books to use as a supplement or replacement?

My background: A single microbiology class as an undergrad and a PhD in physics (nuclear).

Cheers.

TL;DR Summary: Book after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics I am doing a comprehensive reading of sakurai and I have solved every problem from chapters I finished on my own, I will finish the book within 2 weeks and I want to delve into qft and other particle physics related topics, not from summaries but comprehensive books, I will start a graduate program related to cern in 3 months, I alreadily knew some qft but now I want to do it, hence do a good book with good problems in it first...
TLDR: is Blennow "Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering" a good follow-up to Altland "Mathematics for physicists"? Hello everybody, returning to physics after 30-something years, I felt the need to brush up my maths first. It took me 6 months and I'm currently more than half way through the Altland "Mathematics for physicists" book, covering the math for undergraduate studies at the right level of sophystication, most of which I howewer already knew (being an aerospace engineer)...
