    Books Series
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on discovering lesser-known yet valuable physics and mathematics textbooks. Key recommendations include Walter Greiner's extensive 10-volume course on theoretical physics, a two-part classical mechanics book, and a 5-volume theoretical physics series. The Manchester Physics Series is highlighted as an underappreciated resource. Additionally, the M.I.T. and Berkeley Physics Series are mentioned, along with notable mathematics texts by Serge Lang, Michael Spivak, Richard Courant, and Tom Apostol. Participants encourage sharing more obscure recommendations, emphasizing the depth and quality of these resources for students and enthusiasts alike.

Think this would be a good thread to get going as I've only recently made some discoveries
that were very helpful & new suggestions are definitely welcome.

Obviously there is the strandard https://www.amazon.com/dp/0750628960/?tag=pfamazon01-20
but what else it there hidden away that isn't mentioned in nearly every thread on
physicsforums asking for book recommendations? Well, first off I found this amazing 10
volume course on theoretical physics by Walter Greiner that simply looks astonishing!
Browsing around I found this basically unmentioned two-part tome on classical mechanics
by https://www.amazon.com/dp/0471091448/?tag=pfamazon01-20 which I found in my library and the contents are superb.
This should be read by every undergraduate as far as I can ascertain from reading it.
Another discovery is https://www.amazon.com/dp/0126546703/?tag=pfamazon01-20 5 volume course on theoretical physics :biggrin:
In England there is a whole course published called the Manchester Physics Series that has
barely been mentioned on here I think people would find interesting.
Of course there are two separate M.I.T. Berkeley Physics Series by https://www.amazon.com/dp/0393099709/?tag=pfamazon01-20.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/013805326X/?tag=pfamazon01-20 could also be considered a series.
As for mathematics I would call Serge Lang, Michael Spivak, Richard Courant & Tom Apostol all a series.

So, let the rare and unmentioned recommendations fly in!:biggrin:

i like how you were expecting so much more people to reply:biggrin:
 
On the math side, Analysis I, II, III by Amann/Escher is a great series :)
 
You, sir, must have a lot of time on your hands! I have my hands full with just anyone of these suggestions in my spare time.
 
I used Greiner's text on the electroweak theory and it was excellent.

Taylor's classical mechanics text is also pretty good.
 
For the following four books, has anyone used them in a course or for self study? Compiler Construction Principles and Practice 1st Edition by Kenneth C Louden Programming Languages Principles and Practices 3rd Edition by Kenneth C Louden, and Kenneth A Lambert Programming Languages 2nd Edition by Allen B Tucker, Robert E Noonan Concepts of Programming Languages 9th Edition by Robert W Sebesta If yes to either, can you share your opinions about your personal experience using them. I...
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!
