AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on choosing between two books on Real Analysis and Functional Analysis, highlighting the differences in their structures. Rubin's work is noted as a gold standard in Real Analysis, with positive feedback on Amazon, while his Functional Analysis book has fewer reviews but is still well-regarded. Conway is also mentioned as an excellent author. A suggestion is made to check these books out from a school library to evaluate them personally before making a decision.

I can’t decide which of these two books I should start reading. They are structured very differently so it’s hard to compare them before reading them. Can anyone fill me in on there experience with these books or maybe what things one has that the other doesn’t.

Rubin has been considered as the gold standard in Real Analysis. You might get some good feedback on Amazon.

For his functional analysis there’s not as many reviews but folks do like it a lot

But Conway is a great author too

Why not check them out of your school library and use them for your work? Then you’ll be able to decide for yourself.

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

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!

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...
