I know that Kleppner and Purcell are deeper, but does HRK even come close? Also how far is HRK from HRW in depth of coverage and difficulty? Thanks!
Thinker301 said:Hmm Thanks! So A reasonable First Year Curriculum could be, Kleppner(or Morin) for CM, Purcell for EM, and HRK for everything else?
Thinker301 said:If you had to chose one, Morin or Kleppner?
Thinker301 said:Sound about right?
Thinker301 said:Also can you comment on my plan, here it is below.
Thinker301 said:Also what are your thoughts about books like Spivak for physicists?
Thinker301 said:The questions are all flooding me.
Thinker301 said:Wouldn't not doing all the problems make you lose out on some learning?
Thinker301 said:HRK sounds pretty awesome!
The sticking to it part is always a little hard lol :)
The questions are all flooding me. I think this is the last on that was bothering me. Wouldn't not doing all the problems make you lose out on some learning?
Thinker301 said:Were there problems in Morin and Purcell that were easy enough to skip?
Thinker301 said:So taking in both of your ideas, how does going through the book and doing only the one star problems, then going back and rereading and doing the two star problems, etc?
Thinker301 said:Alright, so I go through twice, 1 and 2 the first time, 3 and 4 the second time?

He was suggesting that if you go through it all multiple times you will have a better grasp on the material.
Krane, Kleppner, and Purcell are all well-known textbooks in the field of classical mechanics. The main difference between them is the level of detail and complexity. Krane is considered a more introductory text, while Kleppner and Purcell are more advanced and comprehensive.
If you are new to the subject and looking for a textbook to start with, Krane would be a good choice. It covers the basics of classical mechanics in a clear and concise manner, making it easier for beginners to understand.
Yes, you can use all three textbooks for your studies. However, it is important to note that each textbook may have a different approach and level of difficulty. It is recommended to choose one that best suits your learning style and level of understanding.
Kleppner and Purcell are considered more suitable for advanced topics in classical mechanics. They cover a wide range of topics in depth and provide more challenging problems for students to solve.
While all three textbooks cover the core concepts of classical mechanics, there may be some differences in the specific topics they cover. It is recommended to compare the table of contents of each textbook to see which one aligns better with your course or personal interests.
