AI Thread Summary
For college students seeking to learn physics in English, recommended resources include "Fundamentals of Physics" by David Halliday, Robert Resnick, and Jearl Walker, specifically the 6th edition for affordability. Another valuable text is "Fundamentals of Physics Extended, 8th Edition." Additionally, "Physics for Scientists and Engineers" by Knight is highlighted for its strong mathematical support, visual diagrams, and accessible introduction to quantum mechanics. These books are suggested to help bridge the gap in understanding college-level physics efficiently.

I am in college right now.
I learn physics in foreign language before.
I never learn physics in English.
Please recommended some books that can help me reach to college physics ASAP
Thank you!

"Physics for Scientist and Engineers with modern physics" by Knight
It is pretty good, provides the mathematical support along with the visual diagrams. It also introduces quantum mechanics, in plain english.
 
The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
