What level are Landau and Lifgarbagez books suitable for?

AI Thread Summary
The Landau and Lifgarbagez Course of Theoretical Physics is a series of graduate-level textbooks that cover various fundamental topics in physics, including mechanics, quantum mechanics, statistical physics, and electrodynamics. These texts are considered classics in the field and are highly respected for their depth and rigor. While they are invaluable resources for advanced students, they are not typically used as primary textbooks in courses due to their challenging nature. Instead, they often appear on supplemental reading lists, providing additional insights and perspectives for graduate students. The series is noted for its concise presentation of complex concepts, making it a significant reference for those pursuing a deeper understanding of theoretical physics.

These are graduate level textbooks. They're classics and highly respected in general, but not very "easy." When I was in graduate school, professors often put them on supplemental reading lists, but we never used one as the primary textbook for a course.

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!
This is part 2 of my thread Collection of Free Online Math Books and Lecture Notes Here, we will consider physics and mathematical methods for physics resources. Now, this is a work in progress. Please feel free comment regarding items you want to be included, or if a link is broken etc. Note: I will not post links to other collections, each link will point you to a single item. :book:📚📒 [FONT=trebuchet ms]Introductory college/university physics College Physics, Openstax...
