I am trying to work my way through Stephen Pope's "Turbulent Flows". I'm finding that my Achilles heel (as has been throughout my undergraduate degree) is maths. Since this book is essentially applied maths, I'm finding it difficult. So I'd like to simultaneously work through a course in...

I'm looking for an excellent introductory linear algebra textbook for my second year pure mathematics course. My lecturer highly recommended Introduction to Linear Algebra by Marcus and Minc. She said she has searched for it for many years without success, as it is out of print. I love classic...

So far I have seen Sakurai, Townsend, Cohen Tannoudji, Feynman, and McIntyre. Are there any other books that take this approach? Just curious.

I have access to a copy of the first edition and would like to use this book to strengthen what I've learned in my first physics course in Engineering school. I know there is a second edition though, and I was wondering if the difference between the two is large enough to justify just buying...

Took a graduate level mathematical methods for physics course and came out the other side feeling a bit lacking in solving stuff like the heat equation, wave equation, laplaces equation and so on. I'm still unsure of the Green's Function method for them, how to look at them with Fourier series...

Hi, I was wondering what textbooks I should be looking at to learn classical mechanics. I have spent a lot of time looking, but none of the ones I found had what I was looking for. For example, one book would cover all basic concepts in classical mechanics, but then it wouldn't cover more...

Hi guys I'm searching for a good undergraduate physics textbook on classical mechanics that might has an intro to langranzians and Hamiltonians, that I could tackle right now. I'm actually getting through apostol calculus 1 (just reached partial derivatives). I want it to be hard to follow ,but...

I'm taking a junior course on optics. The professor said it would be up to us to find a textbook to use. For this course the prerequisites are E&M (Griffiths level), classical mechanics (Morin level), and multivariable calculus. Anyone have recommendations on a textbook for this class? Course...

I'm studying General Relativity and Differential Geometry. In my textbook, the author has written ##x^2=d(x,.)## where d(x,y) is distance between two points ##x,y\in M##. I couldn't understand what d(x,.) means. Moreover, I am not sure if this is generally true to write ##x^2=g_{\mu\nu} x^\mu...

Hi everyone, I just finished self-studying linear algebra from Treil's Linear Algebra Done Wrong, and I want to continue with analysis. I don't know the requirements, so I'll just list what I know. I already know single and multi-variable calculus (to give a sense of my level, I knew everything...
