Hi everyone, which text on methods is better between the following two :
1) https://www.amazon.com/dp/0486691934/?tag=pfamazon01-20

2) https://www.amazon.com/dp/3319011944/?tag=pfamazon01-20

I only know Hassani's book, and it's great!

 

[Demystifier]

Both are good, but Hassani is more comprehensive (and more modern).

In my opinion Hassani.

Absolutely Hassani. I have an older version.

 

[vanhees71]

Alone this quotation from the preface in Hassani's book tells it all: "If math is the language of nature, physics is its poetry." (quoted from my memory, I don't have the book here, at the moment).

I don't have the book here, at the moment

Here you go

It is said that mathematics is the language of Nature. If so, then physics is its poetry.

I never seen the folks agree so much on a book as we have done here in this thread :)

 

[Jianphys17]

It's true !

 

[Demystifier]

Just to break the agreement: Hassani sucks, Arfken Weber is much better. (Just kidding! )

 

[Jianphys17]

Ah i thought !

Hm, it must be at least as hot weather outside at your place as here in Frankfurt

Until a few hours ago it was very hot in Zagreb, but now it is raining and quite humid.

By the way, my brother lives in Frankfurt, so if you see him say hallo to him!
