Studying Where Can I Find Introductory Physics E-books for Kindle?

AI Thread Summary
To prepare for a future in physics, focus on foundational topics such as Classical Mechanics and Electromagnetism, as they serve as the basis for more advanced subjects. Resources like Halliday & Resnick are recommended for introductory physics. For further study, explore books on Optics, Statistical Mechanics, Thermodynamics, and other areas listed, keeping in mind the importance of a solid understanding of the fundamentals before tackling advanced topics like Quantum Mechanics and String Theory. Kindle availability may vary, but many educational texts are accessible in digital formats. Starting with these foundational subjects will provide a strong groundwork for future studies in physics.

I hope to pursue a future in physics one-day, and my friend who has left the state to study left me a list of things to study that would help. Anyone know where I can find books that aren't too over the top with what I'm about to list. I know that Quantum and String are advanced, so I was thinking something to prepare me for when I get down to them. Thanks, here the list he left me:
Classical Mechanics
Optics
Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics
Electronics
Electromagnetism
Quantum Mechanics (broad subject with several sub-disciplines)
Quantum Topology
Atoms and Molecules
Solid State Physics
Nuclear Physics
Plasma Physics
Special Relativity
Phenomenology
General Relativity
Quantum Field Theory
Superstring Theory

I have the newer kindle, so it helps my reading if they're are on there.

PS. I'm a tenth grader if that helps
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Start with classical mechanics and E&M. Everything else (for the most part) follows from there. I don't know about kindle availability, but I like Halliday&Resnick for intro physics.
 
Thanks man, I'll get started on those
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

Thread 'What should I do if I found a paper with same result as mine?'

Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
