SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on finding introductory physics e-books suitable for Kindle, particularly for a tenth grader preparing for advanced topics. Key recommendations include starting with "Classical Mechanics" and "Electromagnetism," as they form the foundation for further studies in physics. The user specifically mentions "Halliday & Resnick" as a preferred resource for introductory physics. The conversation emphasizes the importance of building a strong base before tackling more complex subjects like Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of physics concepts
  • Familiarity with Kindle e-reader functionality
  • Knowledge of introductory physics textbooks, specifically "Halliday & Resnick"
  • Awareness of advanced physics topics such as Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity
NEXT STEPS
  • Research available e-books on "Classical Mechanics" for Kindle
  • Explore introductory texts on "Electromagnetism" suitable for Kindle
  • Investigate online platforms for purchasing or borrowing physics e-books
  • Look into supplementary resources for "Quantum Mechanics" and "General Relativity"
USEFUL FOR

Students interested in pursuing physics, educators seeking resources for teaching physics, and anyone looking to build a foundational understanding of physics concepts through Kindle e-books.

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
