Hello,

I'm looking for a textbook on climate change that is not afraid to use advanced physics and mathematics (thermal/statistical physics, differential equations, fluid dynamics, etc.). Too many textbooks on the topic shy away from the mathematics, preventing me from obtaining a deep understanding of the science.

Thanks.

I found two possible ones and there may be more if you search around a bit:

https://www.springer.com/us/climate

and a Springer book:

A kids version ala 9-12 yr olds:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/194747300X/?tag=pfamazon01-20

and a Lawrence Krauss pop science book:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/1642938165/?tag=pfamazon01-20
I'll take a look at the Springer book. Thank you!
 
By looking around, it seems like Dr. Hassani's books are great for studying "mathematical methods for the physicist/engineer." One is for the beginner physicist [Mathematical Methods: For Students of Physics and Related Fields] and the other is [Mathematical Physics: A Modern Introduction to Its Foundations] for the advanced undergraduate / grad student. I'm a sophomore undergrad and I have taken up the standard calculus sequence (~3sems) and ODEs. I want to self study ahead in mathematics...
