What's the Next Step After Superconductivity: A Very Short Introduction?

AI Thread Summary
For those seeking a deeper understanding of superconductivity without heavy mathematical content, "Introduction to Superconductivity" by A. C. Rose-Innes and E. H. Rhoderick is recommended as a suitable follow-up. The discussion highlights the challenge of finding accessible literature for readers without a strong background in quantum mechanics, suggesting that options may be limited for those with minimal prior knowledge in the field.

Superconductivity: a very short introduction
Im looking for a book that will follow up this book. It needs just more detail but not lots of maths and equations just a longer introduction any ideas?

What's your background? Did you do one or two courses in quantum mechanics?

If not, then there's probably not a lot of books out there that will serve your needs.
 
Hi! For introductory level, I would highly recommend Introduction to Superconductivity by A. C. Rose-Innes and E. H Rhoderick.

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

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!

Thread 'How is Jackson’s Electrodynamics taught during undergraduate?'

I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
