In the title you said "everything in university", then you narrowed it down to theoretical physics, and finally reduced to high-energy theoretical physics. I wouldn't be too surprised if you would eventually conclude that you actually meant string theory.Someguyoutthere said:
1) I actually don't like string theory (I just believe other approaches would be more promissing) 2)It is important to learn things with a specific order imo (everything really needed at least) so I should learne enough things (string theory included) so I can try other approaches too. Lastly what textbooks would you suggest?Demystifier said:In the title you said "everything in university", then you narrowed it down to theoretical physics, and finally reduced to high-energy theoretical physics.

After all, string theory is the theory of everything, so if you learn string theory, in principle you learn "everything in university".

The textbooks needed to cover everything in university will vary depending on your specific field of study and the courses you are taking. Generally, you will need textbooks that cover the core concepts and theories in your field, as well as any specialized topics or electives you are taking. It is best to consult with your professors or academic advisor for specific textbook recommendations.
The number of textbooks needed for an undergraduate degree will also depend on your field of study and the courses you are taking. On average, students will need around 10-15 textbooks per semester, but this can vary greatly. Some courses may not require any textbooks at all, while others may require multiple textbooks.
It is possible to use some of the same textbooks for your master's and PhD programs, especially if you are staying within the same field of study. However, as you progress in your education, you may need to supplement with more advanced textbooks or specialized texts for your specific research interests.
Yes, there are alternatives to purchasing textbooks for university. Some students choose to rent textbooks, buy used textbooks, or even borrow textbooks from the library. Additionally, some professors may provide electronic versions of textbooks or lecture notes that can be accessed for free.
There are several ways to save money on textbooks for university. You can try to buy used textbooks, rent textbooks, or borrow them from the library. You can also look for online versions or e-books, as these may be cheaper than physical textbooks. It is also a good idea to compare prices from different sources and to ask upperclassmen or classmates if they have any textbooks you can borrow or buy at a discounted price.
