AI Thread Summary
When choosing a Halliday and Resnick physics textbook, it's important to consider the specific edition and content. The recommended ISBN-13 is 978-1118230718 for the 10th edition, published on August 5, 2013. If a specific edition isn't required for a course, opting for older editions can save money without sacrificing essential material. Additionally, "Physics" is preferred over the simplified "Fundamentals of Physics," with the 3rd edition being a solid choice for those looking for comprehensive coverage.

I believe that you want ISBN -13: 978-1118230718 Wiley; 10 edition (August 5, 2013)
 
If you don't need a particular edition for a course, newer editions like the 10th edition are just going to be more expensive, without any benefit to the reader. Also, I recommend "Physics" over the simplified "Fundamentals of Physics". I like the 3rd edition:

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...
