Free (open sourceish?) physics book

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around finding online resources, particularly PDFs, that cover topics related to magnets, magnetism, and magnetic forces in-depth, without delving into unconventional theories. Participants mention several valuable resources, including MIT's OpenCourseWare, which offers course notes on electromagnetism and other physics topics. They highlight the availability of free PDFs and Creative Commons materials through a simple Google search. The Feynman lectures are also noted as accessible via torrent, though copyright concerns are raised. Additionally, a suggestion is made to explore free science resources from various universities for further lecture notes and books.

Anyone know of one online? A PDF would be awesome. Also, if it delves into magnets, magnetism and magnetic forces in-depth (nothing too crazy, no new whacky theories), that would hit gold, gold I tell ya!

MIT resources:

... + other topics: have a play.
(A lot of colleges have been putting their course-notes online.)

The Feynman lectures are available in a torrent - though I don't think they will be out of copyright and I don't know the terms.

There's quite a few pdf's for gratis and even cc download within an easy google and they look very similar. Which level are you looking for?

Thread 'List of STEM Masterworks: THE SUMMARY'

This thread only works as a summary from the original source: List of STEM Masterworks in Physics, Mechanics, Electrodynamics... The original thread got very long and somewhat hard to read so I have compiled the recommendations from that thread in an online (Google Drive) spreadsheet. SUMMARY Permits are granted so you can make comments on the spreadsheet but I'll initially be the only one capable of edition. This is to avoid the possibility of someone deleting everything either by mistake...

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

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...
