The order to read Mathematical Physics

AI Thread Summary
To transition into Mathematical Physics after completing Calculus and the IPhO syllabus, it's essential to focus on a structured sequence of topics. Start with multivariable calculus, followed by linear algebra and real analysis, as these foundational subjects are crucial for understanding advanced concepts. Recommended readings include "A Course in Modern Mathematical Physics" by Peter Szekeres, which provides a comprehensive overview. Additional resources can be found through links to guides on mathematical topics relevant to theoretical physics, although specific e-book links were not provided. Emphasis is placed on following a logical progression in studying these subjects to build a solid understanding necessary for further exploration in Mathematical Physics.

Assume that I have read Calculus, completed IPhO Syllabus, finished Irodov, Krotov and Kleppner.

Now, how should I proceed so as to make a transition to Mathematical Physics.

Please list the topics in correct order to read. Please recommend some books for reading those topics.

Also, if possible, please provide links where I can find their e-books free.

I have not read this myself, but I will buy this and read / study it this summer:

A Course in Modern Mathematical Physics, by Peter Szekeres, Cambridge
 
Have you studied multivariable calculus? Real analysis? Linear algebra?
 
Yes, most of them. Actually, I was just asking for the sequence of all these things and the books for them.

I will be very thankful if you help. Please, at least, tell the correct sequence.
 
Thank you very much, confinement and malawi_glenn.

(don't worry about part 3 of this guide though ;))
