Thanks for suggestion,but I see both Gould and Jaeger are from engineering perspective while I am inclined towards a more 'physics'(theoretical)
approach.And I personally do not think it would be quite helpful to jump into Landau directly.
TL;DR Summary: Pretty much confused about an advanced elasticity book.Resource recommendation is asked.
My last semester in freshman year of bs physics included a chapter on elasticity,it was not at the advanced level and by advanced level i mean atleast the tensor stuff.Well,I want to read...
Ok, I get it. But does that mean someone at my level should not touch Goldstein? If so then I will be acting more carefully from next time and save everyone's time(including mine) from the next time.
I can do this, but I do not really know how to write math with latex yet, so I can describe by words
Sin(54)-Sin(18)=2Cos(36)Sin(18)
=2Cos(36)Sin(36)/2Cos(18)
=Sin(72)/2Sin(72)
=1/2
But I do not understand what does that prove.
I would not make you type again the "plenty of advice", and not "disregard"ing that "plenty of advice", I would say:
a)Reviewing what I learned in high school, it was just newtonian mechanics, shm and waves, electrostatics, electrodynamics, ray and wave optics, some modern physics including...
Well, the point where I got stuck in Goldstein's book is where he just derives the D'Alembert's principle Eqn 1.52, he says:"Note that in system of Cartesian co-ordinates the partial derivative of T with respect to q^j vanishes. Thus speaking in the language of differential geometry, the term...
I am self studying Goldstein first chapter "A survey on the elementary principles", so far I have been enjoying it, sometimes he skips some lines while deriving a principle or so, therefore sometimes I get to PSE or Physics Forums to know the things I lack understanding in.
What are your...
I am intending to join an undergrad course in physics(actually it is an integrated masters course equivalent to bs+ms) in 1-1.5 months. The thing is, in order to take a dive into more advanced stuff during my course, I am currently studying some of the stuff that will be taught in the first...
TL;DR Summary: Here I am asking for some opinions and recommendations for mathematically rigorous books that should be taken as an interested physics student. I know the question is quite subjective but any insightful answer is appreciated.
I am willing to join undergraduate physics classes...
