What is the different between Fundamentals of Physics Extended and non extended

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the differences between the "Fundamentals of Physics (Non-Extended)" and the "Extended" version of the textbook. The key point is that while both versions contain the same core content, the Extended version includes additional chapters on topics such as Relativity, Quantum Physics, and Nuclear Physics. Therefore, the Extended version can be used in place of the Non-Extended version for the class, as it retains all the necessary information from the required text. The conversation also touches on concerns regarding the professor's understanding of the textbook requirements.

i tried to read the description from amazon.com.. but they both telling me the same things =[
thank you for all your advices :D

The extended version has extra chapters at the end of the book on Relativity, Quantum Physics, and Nuclear Physics. The rest of the content is exactly the same. =]
 
thanks for your help =]
professor just being not knowledgeable ~
 
The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
