Intro Physics Differences in problems between fundamentals of physics and principles

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the differences between "Fundamentals of Physics" and "Principles of Physics," both authored by Halliday, Resnick, and Walker. Key points include the variation in the number and difficulty of questions presented in each textbook, while the theoretical content and derivations are treated similarly across both editions. The importance of specifying authors when discussing textbooks is emphasized, as many books share similar titles, which can lead to confusion. A link to a Quora discussion is provided for additional context on the differences between the two texts.

There is a difference in the questions (amount, difficulty) between fundamentals of physics extended 11th edition and principles of physics 11th edition? And both textbooks treat the theory the same in terms of derivations?

Unless you provide the names of the authors, we will not know what books you are talking about. There are many books with essentially the same title.

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...
