Hello, A couple of years ago I studied abstract algebra from Dummit and Foote. However, I was never able to gain the intuition on the subject that I would like from that book. I want to study the subject again, and I want to use a different book this time around - one that covers a lot of...

Hi everybody I am new on the site, so please bear over me, if I posted this in the wrong forum. I am looking for a good textbook in thermoelectricity. I am interested in the underlying physics and mathematics. Can anyone recommend a good one? Best regards Christian

I'm looking for an introduction level books on special relativity. My goal is to get familiar with Dirac equation as I'm into atomic physics in this semester. My background on the subject is that I have taken a course in the past which was designed to be kind of introductory to modern physics in...

i need a book that contain all math formulas from numbers theory to Probability. any help??

Hi I recently read a book called "The fundamental theorem of algebra" by Fine and Rosenberger. It focused specifically on polynomials, and proved the theorem using several fields of mathematics; Two of the proofs were algebraic. Abstract algebra has been very difficult for me; Mostly because...

An extremely well-written book for students taking Calculus for the first time as well as those who need a refresher. This book makes you realize that Calculus isn't that tough after all. Is that True? If this book is good,i will buy it.

On the section on differentiation of logarithms and exponentials the book shows equations like this (ln(x+Δ)-lnx)/Δ and it gives values for Δ, I do not understand why there is no variable following the Δ. if you want to see the exact question I am trying to explain please look at page number...

Could someone provide the e-books about neutrino physics? thanks.

In particular, something focused on the acoustics of musical instruments and ideally with a bit of the physics behind playing techniques. In terms of my preparation, I've completed math up through linear algebra, ODEs and multivariable calculus. I've also completed all of the "core"...

Hey guys, I've never studied this subject before (except basic thermal physics in high school), and I have a course on it this semester. I'm in a semi international program, and this course isn't taught in English (but the tutorials are, thankfully), so I will need to study on my own. In...

Hi guys, I came across a really interesting thread in the Internet where the author was asking for fun, but serious Maths book recommendations. I saw plenty of excellent books being recommended there and thought I'd start a similar thread over here :) Some characteristics of the books should...

Hello I'm a physics major freshman. And I want to know about Quantum physics and relativity But It takes to long to learn this subject in my college. I read book "Feynman Lectures on Physics" and I was fascinated . So I want to know about this kinds of Books. But I don't know about many physics...

I am working on Schwartz QFT book problem 14.3, particularly part (c). Basically, it asks us to evaluate the following integration. \int \cfrac{d^3 p}{2\pi^3} \omega_p e^{i \vec{p} \cdot (\vec{x}-\vec{y})} where \omega_p = \sqrt{p^2 + m^2} I could perform the angular integration, and the...

Hi everyone, I'm currentyly doing my master in Control Systems (mechanical engineering), and since I'm nearly graduating I was contemplating at what I've learned so far. Upon doing so, I realized that there where some areas I seriously lack knowledge in areas that I assume are important...

Hi. I already had a first course on classical mechanics (lets say it was a Goldstein-level course) and I'd like to step up and read advanced, more "mathy" books. I've tried reading Arnold's book and it was frustratingly abstract. Is there any other books that you could place between Goldstein...

HI, I am studying vibration, came across this in a textbook and can't see the steps taken to substitute e.q 3.5 into 3.3. There is a second derivative x so where does this go, as there is no s^2 either and I can't see how cos was eliminated Cheers

Hello all, I am a chemistry/physics teacher and our school also is an IB school. I teach both IB chemistry and physics. I have enjoyed and found useful using Asimov's Understanding Physics as a text of sorts for the physics class. I supplement it with problems from other books and sources...

Hello all, I have recently become very interested in Probability Theory, but I have NO real experience in it thus far. I am currently reading YA Rozanov's Probability Theory: A Concise Course, and I love it; it is a very well written book, and though I do have difficulty understanding some of it...

I'm going to be taking a computer science course next semester, what is a good intro computer science book or C++ programming book I can buy?

I want to build and program a quad copter as a part of my masters work. I would like ot be pointed in the right driection on a good book. I do not want a set of directions to build a rc toy, I have those. I am interested in a book that will cover the basics and equations involved in calculating...

Hi. Specifically I would be interested in a not-too-advanced book (I don't know Quantum Mechanics) on semiconductor physics. Specifically, point defects and photoexcitation effects on semiconductor properties, energy levels, etc. Am I asking for too much?

I'm taking a course in undergraduate classical mechanics (not the freshman version). I'm reading this book and it seems like it would be great to someone who already has a BS in math and wants to now study physics, but for me I can't wade through all the math language fast enough to keep up with...

Hi, I just started an introductory class on Mechanical Vibration and would like to know what's a good book mainly with good problems so i can practice. To be more clear the topic discussed here ->...

Page 260: "No modification of quantum electrodynamics at high frequencies is known which simultaneously makes all result finite, maintains relativistic invariance, and keeps the sum of probabilities over all alternatives equal to unity." Is that still true today?
