Remove Griffiths, especially QM, remove Taylor, remove Halliday (that one has to be a troll kek) and probably remove LL vol 2

people who overpraise Axler just demonstrate they've never seen a good LA book. this chart gets a pass though for including H&K, objectively the best LA text

I haven't read his Quantum Mechanics book, but pic related is the most accessible (and enjoyable) EM textbook I've read.
He's a good author.

He even called the pound and foot system users "Neanderthals" which was pretty funny.

>>15466123
wrong pic

anyone got a number theory chart or anything close?
also i'm thinking of making my own chart for algebra books, but i'm terrible with image editing, what would be the easiest way to make one?

>>15466123
His QM book is nothing like the EM one

Thats like zeroless base systems and dynamic base systems and other nonsensical shit, I have almost never come across anthing like those that has been labeled "Number Theory", ever.

Norman Wildberger does a lot of Number Theory but he doesnt label it as such, but it totally is. Mod math for example, though I would modify his definitions a bit;

Advanced Number Theory and Schizo Math are synonyms. Only the insane touch it...you are not insane, so not for you.

>>15468785

I don't know shit about anything and just started quickly scrolling through pages in the intro to electrodynamics pdf

what the fuck does an upside-down triangle stand for?

Its the div operator, it means partially differentate whatever it's being applied to basiically

>>15469043
it's the exterior derivative of the 2-form associated to a vector field :^)

How do I git gud at Classical Mechanics? I am unable to solve the problems in Red Morin. I know I am retarded with sub 100 IQ but I want to learn Physics. Please help.

>>15470503

>>15465948
+1 for including david morin's book
that is literally the best freshman classical mech book out there, very lucid explanations for stuff, top-tier problems, very succinct but has greater readability than literally anything else

people see the short chapters and think it doesn't cover much but it covers everything you need, and sometimes some of the theory is hidden in the problems (which is perfectly alright, since there are solutions for those: e.g. rutherford scattering, the cycloidal pendulum, the catenary problem)
people also get scared by the problems but unless you're a midwit you will have an incredibly fun time working through them

the other red book, taylor, is insanely overrated by retards
i don't like it at all, tried reading a couple chapters just to see why people cream themselves over it all the time
there is nothing in its content that justifies its length

>>15470503
you should be able to solve all the one and two star problems without much difficulty. If you can't, that shows that you lack understanding of the topic at the level required by the book.
I wouldn't worry _too_ much if you can't solve most of the three and four star problems. I'd suggest you just solve whatever three star problems you can (you should be able to solve at least some of them), go on to the next chapter, and then revisit the ones that you couldn't later. You would've gained some extra intuition in that time, and you'll be approaching the problems from a different place, and that would surely help. BTW if you can solve most of the three star problems you should be pretty happy since that means you're smarter than like 90% of your peers most of whom would be retards.

Also don't worry too much if you can solved the physics part of a problem but then get stuck on evaluating an integral or something. That just means you have to get better at integrals, you understand the physics.

Also also, sometimes some set of problems require you to solve them a certain way. If you can't figure that out you might not be able to solve the entire class of problems. Sneaking a look at the solutions every now and then is okay, as long as you make sure you're not fooling yourself into thinking you understand how to solve a problem when you don't.

i feel like griffiths e&m is alright but that might be because i haven't read any other undergraduate e&m text

>>15465948
Baby's first physics textbooks. There's no condensed matter or stat mech and the only QFT book on there (Zee) is trash.

>>15466105
Griffiths and Halliday and Resnick are good for what they are and they've taught generations.

>>15472355
If you had added a limerick, I would have thought this was Morin himself.

>>15472346
>david morin's book
>that is literally the best freshman classical mech book
I'm a mathfag, so this was my choice. Haven't completed the entire thing yet (it's a side project), but definitely prefer it to anything else I've seen.

If you're mathematically inclined, where do you go next? I mean to read Arnol'd, and of course there is Landau/Lifshitz.

>>15472731
I honestly have no idea
I tried reading Arnold some time back and got filtered hard since I didn't (and still don't) have all the math prerequisites required to fully understand and appreciate that book
>Landau/Lifshitz
L&L is good but it doesn't actually cover that much (in fact it doesn't even mention noether's theorem iirc)
I didn't read beyond the first couple of chapters (the first chapter is pretty good since it provides motivation for why the lagrangian takes the form it does without appealing to newton's formulation) but I really don't think it's worth trudging through them if you've got morin and goldstein

i'm just a physics freshman btw, will probably get around to giving arnold another try a couple years later

>>15465971
How many LA books does a student need? Kunze and Hoffman is enough.

>>15473042
Do you have any recommendations for electro-magnetism? Perhaps LL is a consideration for that. Since I was pleased with Morin's classical mechanics, I picked up Purcell's EM book (Morin resurrected Purcell's book and released it with some of his problems for the 3rd edition), but I'm ashamed to say I've barely looked at it.

I've heard Feynman is good to read, but someone told me it's better as a review after one has completed traditional textbooks, although they were specifically talking about Feynman Vol 1.

Oppenheim has a 3rd signal book, pic rel. Haven't read it yet (still reading his first book), but based on reputation it probably belongs in the list.

Is there a /sci/ recommended books chart for learning how to make a computer?
Not obscure programming languages or gay algorithm analysis.
Just everything that makes a computer up, from the chips and the boards all the way to the units, buses, peripherals, and all that.
Pref. something that starts with the physics/chemistry part of it though.

>>15465948
Great ones, used all of them. I will say, RHB totally mogs Boas imo.

Griffiths E&M is pretty decent but his QM book is not good. Sakurai, Bohm, Dirac are all better. Halliday and Resnick is a really low quality book and shouldn't be used now that Morin exists.
