I am a physics postgraduate. I learned my math from pure mathematics book , and I must say that after reading them I got the real main idea and never felt any difficulty when any of that concept occurred in physics. The books are algebra by Michael artin , Coddington book on diff equation

[@sunburnt8742]

speaking of pure mathematics, I highly recommend Bartle's Real Analysis. An excellent book.

[@_Nibi]

I would recommend people don't use that tensor calculus textbook if you don't already know tensors. The first two chapters are reasonably easy. The third gets harder, and then the fourth gets super difficult. It explains some concepts pretty well, but you need to already be fluent in tensor notation. I'd recommend Principles of Tensor Calculus by Sochi first, then reading Tensor Calculus for physics. Sochi also has solutions to all of the problems, Neunschander doesn't, and those problems are difficult.

@@somakbhattacharjee9217 😂😂😂. It's not India where studying is mostly based on solving for competitive exams. Apps like Byju's are just for competitive purposes. Real learning and understanding of tough concepts in science comes with the thorough and deep study of hand-written materials. Pdfs of books are for people without the resource to by books. Using softwares and apps for studying what Doston is studying is a foolish idea. I think Doston made fun of you with his reply. There is no software or app that can help you learn physics at Doston's level except if you consider the Internet, the open platform of information.

[@somakbhattacharjee9217]

@@insearchofpeace2151 Well it's not totally true, that in India studying is mostly based on solving for competitive exams. I know that apps like Byju's are just for competitive purposes. But you should notice that Byju is mainly for the students of class 4 - 12. I understand that these ad schemes are misleading you about the study techniques of India. As a student, I know the value of reading books and thanks to my professors who teach me really well. Yes, I don't have a deep understanding of some simple physics topics, but I tried to understand them through books. Here I want to tell him {Andrew} to make videos on apps and software he used for his computational physics such as Pycharm, Matlab, etc. It's my honest mistake that I could not tell it properly. So, sorry about that. And it doesn't matter for me whether Dotson made fun of me with his reply or not. If he does so, that's only because of the misunderstanding I guess. And I know, no app can help me learn physics at Dotson's level. But I want to learn physics at my level, at the beginner level. I'm just a fan of Dotson and his videos. Again sorry for my mistake in that comment. And thank you so much to put my attention on my mistake. THANK YOU SO MUCH BROTHER.

As mentioned near the end, the Feynman Lectures is one of the best texts for conceptual explanations. It doesn't have exercises and is not great for learning how to solve physics problems, but it remains more or less indisputably one of the best conceptual overviews of major physics topics. (In that sense, it could be a good supplement to an introductory text like Young & Freedman or - for those who still use it - Savelyev) I'm surprised you got through upper-division E&M without Jackson (I'm sure everyone here knows which book I'm talking about).

[@Yahudiwa]

@@AndrewDotsonvideos Back in 1967 or 1968 Carl Sagan came to our school to give a Physics seminar titled "On the Search for Intelligent Life in the Universe". He had written a book with a similar title that I read before the seminar. I thought one chapter in the book was so insanely crazy that Sagan must be off his rocker. At that time, no one had ever heard of Carl Sagan, his seminars were to graduate students and professors of physics departments and not the general public. This chapter described a theory that the moons of the planet Mars were hollow and likely made of some metal. So, after the lecture, Sagan called for questions from the audience. I had already told my fellow physics student (my lab partner actually) about my question and he said "go for it". In the group of graduate students, professors, and a few undergrads (like myself) I asked Sagan about that chapter thinking that I had naiiled him in some big time embarrassment. His response though was a punt -- he shared authorship with a Russian physicist and at that time, this was considered a big thing during the Cold War with the USSR. He said that the Russian author contributed that chapter, and only that chapter, and that he (Sagan) had no rights to edit or remove it.

[@Yahudiwa]

All the books you show are very different from the books I had as an undergrad physics major in the 1960s. For mathematical physics, the bible was the two volume set by Morse & Feshbach and I still have my originals. For undergrad QM we used volume 1 of Messiah although I bought volume 2 at the time and I still have those books. For Electrodynamics we used "Foundations of Electromagnetic Theory" by Reitz & Milford but I augmented that with personal study of Jackson's Electrodynamics which existed way back then. For Classical Mechanics we used Symon but I augmented with Goldstein (still have both books). For Statistical Physics we used Reif who was the standard bearer back then for that topic. The only book I do not have from my undergrad education was my Optics book which I considered a total waste. Can't remember the title at all. Today, my library of physics and math is more than 500 volumes. I think I own every QFT book published in the last 20 years.

You guys don't use Jackson's Electrodynamics in undergrad or any solid state?

I also suggest Wald for General Relativity. If you plan on going the theory route in grad school, I'd recommend some math books on Advanced PDEs, Group Theory, Functional Analysis, variational calculus and some numerical analysis! If you want some recommendations on some more advanced physics texts in QFT and particle physics or in Mathematical Fluid Dynamics, let me know!

Halliday Resnick Walker - Fundamentals of Physics, Rohlf - Modern physics from alpha to z_0 - also not well known, Landau Lifschitz - Mechanics, Dirac - Quantum Mechanics, a great little book is Fermi - Thermodynamics, also not well known: Marshak - conceptual foundations of modern particle physics - this is nice if you know QFT already and want to get some background on older, now exotic topics and the historical background, Weinberg - general relativity - a classic style presentation, misner,thorne, wheeler - Gravitation -nearly impossible to make it through the "brick". A great book on nuclear structure. Casten - Nucleat structure from a simple perspective, Georgi - Lie Algebras in particle physics, carroll and ostlie an itroduction to nuclear astrophysics, Kaku - quantum field theorie, if you are really into theory: the 2 volumes of thirring on classical mathematical physics and quantum mathematical physics.

Good question. It's a classic! Given his work with tensors, maybe he has browsed it at a library and feels that it is still a bit over his head. For a working physicist in 2019, even the 2017 edition may be a bit dated in terms of mathematical notation (see Space-Time Algebra (2nd ed.) by David Hestenes and Gauge Theory Gravity by Chris Doran and Stephen Gull , so it might be hard to justify the cost, although Amazon has some used copies for less than $100.

@@BlueGiant69202 The MTW book on Gravitation is a great work but a horrible textbook and even worse as a textbook for self-study. I have a copy of MTW that I bought the year it first came out and why not -- if your interest was Physics you had to own this book. For a good self-study book on GR I suggest "A Most Incomprehensible Thing" by Peter Collier and it is relatively cheap. Next level up would be something like Schutz' book "A First Course in General Relativity" or also "General Relativity" by Hobson, Efstathiou, & Lasenby. The book by Wald is the best for a more deeper mathematical treatment I think.

I have a dark feeling that my physics textbooks sucked ass. None of the ones you mention, with the exception of Griffiths E&M, were used in my classes. Why wouldn't a university assign the best texts? I mean the department only has to look at the text lists for Universities like MIT, CalTech, Stanford, Harvard, et al to have an idea which are the better books. I kid you not, my multivariable mathematics textbook is riddled with errors right from chapter 1 onward. So thank you for providing this list. I'm really curious to read these other textbooks now to see if there's anything I missed - like parameterization for example! I discovered this a few weeks ago - my university (supposedly a good uni) never taught parameterization in physics. Like wtf?

What is your general attitude towards written material such as didactic textbooks, books, journals, preprint/papers etc. in paper or digital form and the formation of a personal library? I'd like to see your Physics and Mathematics wish list library on Library Thing, Google books or Amazon. I know that course textbooks even in paperback form can be expensive so I wonder what you would be interested in with an imaginary, much larger budget that included digital books and PDFs. Are you mostly interested only in textbooks that teach you specific content and skills? Do you have any interest in reading or have time to read biographies, historical analyses like Albert Einstein's Special Relativity: Emergence and Early Interpretation" by A.I. Miller, writings on the philosophies of science and physics or "recreational" physics and math? How about books like "Sparks of Genius" and "Discovering" by Robert Root-Bernstein or Edward de Bono that provide tools to increase discovery skills? Would you use mastery exercise software like graduate level Khan Academy if Scaum's outlines were unavailable? Have you heard Freeman Dyson talking about Physics on Web of Stories? There is a good story about Fermi's rejection of his work and another story about Oppenheimer and new physics.Wheeler, Teller and Bethe are also in the system talking about their life experience but I don't know what you need to hear at the moment and the Web of Stories search/indexing is not that great. Favourite books you may have read already but not purchased? Have you browsed Gravitation by Misner, Thorne and Wheeler? Geometry and Light by Ulf Leonhardt? You could use your skills with tensors.

Thanks for being so enthusiastic over books, especially challenging ones that are way too thick. Glad you paid attention during reading classes!. To comment on your interest in Quantum Physics..... as a young person, I hope you will not ONLY listen to your Profs, BUT watch or read those books that they may NOT APPROVE OF!. The reason is that modern professors seem to have been educated to look for financially practical purposes for Quantum Physics like the QP computers, etc, and so some have unintentionally ignored and discounted the real, true earth shaking findings of the Founders. We are talking a Quantum Leap versus a Computer that will give us the edge over competitors. Promoting the true findings of QP, we wouldn't have problems across the Earth with competing countries, or wars! We would be able to heal ourselves and others even without being particularly religious. But the Good News seems to be that when a Physicist says "there is no matter at the subatomic level" or when Max Planck said "there is no matter as such" we can say that "non-materiality" means we are actually spiritual! When Werner Heisenberg and Niels Bohr, said "the observer determines the outcome", we might know that means our beliefs create our reality (such as whether there are waves or particles in the Double Slit Experiment... )There's so much more. "Waves of probability" means in simple language that WHAT YOU BELIEVE is probable... is what you usually get in your life. QP shows the way OUT of limits in a scientific way, sort of like Jesus did spiritually KNOWING THE TRUTH... that the persons he healed of sickness or sin were ACTUALLY SPIRITUAL BEINGS, made "in God's own image and likeness" Genesis Chapter One, vs, 26

For anyone tryna get into physics, you should try Concepts of Physics by HV Verma (it’s used a lot by students in India). It’s a very very good book of you’re trying to get your basics right

Have you read a Brief History of Time?

[@AndrewDotsonvideos]

I haven't actually.
