Where Can I Find Affordable Physics Books for My University Studies?

[andreiberceanu]

i would very much appreciate any help with this:)
i need to get
1. Ryogo Kubo's book "Thermodynamics" (1968)
2. Arnold Sommerfeld "Thermodynamics and Statistical physics" (not 100% sure on the title)
3. Jackson, "Classical Electrodynamics"

i know they're copyrighted, and very expensive, i study physics at the physics university in bucharest, romania, and buying those books is well beyond my financial capabilities :(, but i really need them
i manadged to get Goldstein's "Classical Mechanics" textbook using eMule, but i can't find any of these books on it:(

sorry to bother you and thanks a lot, in advance
Andrei

You can find all of those for a very reasonable price on Amazon, if you go for used ones.

For example,
3. Jackson, "Classical Electrodynamics"

Just $28

There are a few options for finding affordable physics books for your university studies. First, check with your university's library to see if they have any of these books available for borrowing. Many university libraries have a wide selection of textbooks for students to use.

Another option is to look for used books online. Websites like Amazon, eBay, and AbeBooks offer used textbooks at lower prices than buying them new. You can also try searching for these books on websites like Chegg or TextbookRush, which specialize in renting or selling used textbooks at discounted prices.

If you are unable to find these books at a lower cost, you may want to consider reaching out to your professors or classmates to see if they have any extra copies or know of any resources for obtaining affordable textbooks. Additionally, some professors may be able to provide digital copies of the textbooks for their students.

Lastly, consider joining online forums or groups for physics students where you can connect with others who may have the books you need or can provide recommendations for affordable options. Good luck with your studies!
