AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the differences between two editions of Lewis Carroll Epstein's "Thinking Physics." Participants suggest that the titles refer to different editions, specifically the second and third editions, and imply that the core content may not differ significantly. To verify the distinctions, it is recommended to use the "Look Inside" feature on Amazon to compare the Tables of Contents of both editions.

Thinking Physics, Understandable Practical Reality

Thanks!

Thread 'Hassani's books on Mathematical Physics/Methods'

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...
