Request a physics/astronomy textbook listing

[Greg Bernhardt]

Please use this thread if you don't see the physics/astronomy textbook you are looking for. In your post please include Title (edition) and author. We'll do our best to add it quickly. Once we add your listings we will delete your request post. Thanks!

Of course, we would appreciate your participation once your requested book listing is up

 

[jtbell]

To save us some work, please delete the ones that are already listed, e.g. Griffiths electrodynamics.

[Thanks! We'll probably delete others ourselves as we add them, or add a comment that they've been added.]

Here's a listing of free physics textbooks: http://www.theassayer.org/cgi-bin/asbrowsesubject.cgi?class=Q#freeclassQC (Some of my own are listed.) I'll start threads for some that I like and that aren't my own.

How about Anthony Zee's new book: Einstein Gravity In A Nutshell?

I just started to work through this a few days ago and was surprised to see that it wasn't already listed here!

Same here, I just started reading it too. So far it's been really, really awesome plus it has solutions to a good number of the exercises and it's very rigorous as far as differential geometry goes. It feels like a much more modern, compactified version of MTW. The only thing I dislike is that the author constantly switches between $\nabla_{\mu}$ and $;\mu$ for the covariant derivative operator but that's just a minor thing.

Can a moderator create a thread for <Quantum Theory for Mathematicians (Graduate Texts in Mathematics)> by Brian C. Hall ?
Thanks!

I'll be doing an update within the next few days

I would be very thankful for this Ukrainian reference book in English, if it exists:

Editor: Boris Ieremievich Verkin

Original title: МЕТОДЫ ПОЛУЧЕНИЯ И ИЗМЕРЕНИЯ НИЗКИХ И СВЕРХНИЗКИХ ТЕМПЕРАТУР

Original title in Latin: METODY POLUCHENIYA I IZMERENIYA NIZKIKH I SVERKHNIZKIKH TEMPERATUR

Google tranlsation: Methods of preparation and measurement of low and ultra-low temperatures

Published by: Naukova Dumka, USSR, 1987

I'm thinking about using this for a class (undergrad Quantum I):

Quantum Mechanics for Engineering, Materials Science, and Applied Physics (Herbert Kroemer)
