I wanna learn physics, what a good roadmap? I like math, i learnt the basics in high school,but i can't find any good guide or how to start with it.
>>16811224https://4chan-science.fandom.com/wiki/Physics_Textbook_RecommendationsIt’s not recommended to study physics without doing experiments.
Start with a book series, one and probably the most iconic classic are the Feynman lectures. It introduces you to Mechanics, Electrodynamics and Quantum Mechanics. If you want more there is Landau-Lifshits which is a 10 parter Series. There's also the Berkeley Physics Course which has all basics you may want to know. For more specialized series there are the Pauli Lectures, there is also Arnold Sommerfelds lectures which are pretty dated but still usefulOne alternative maybe one of these big giant ass weird encyclopedic books with like 2500 Pages. There is Halliday & Resnick for that ocasion, or "University physics" by Sears and ZemanskyThere's also Wolfgang Noltings series, 9 parter and Walter Greiners 11 part series. Though i only recommend these if you know german, there are english translations but i don't think its worthwhile to get them if you don't read them in germanIf you want to dig deeper and for more reference you'd need to get single tomes on each topic such as Mechanics, Quantum Mechanics, Electrodynamics, Statistical Mechanics, maybe Acoustics and Wave physics, Optics and maybe also Statistical and Nonlinear optics if you are into optics. GR and Specialized Relativity, maybe some Condensed matter physics, Atomic/Nuclear physics and/or (Elementary) particle physics and Astrophysical stuff And maybe someday String theoryI could try to make a tiny list of most basic single books on each topic if you like
>>16811238Ah yes, larper’s speciality. Namedropping books that he has never read.
>>16811255pal, i actually read and/or own the books i've mentionend. I am just here to help, don't hate me
>>16811235>>16811238thanks, i'll check out the sources. I normally just found out random stuff and asked chatgpt to explain or watched youtube videos on it.
>>16811291Ah yes, book hoarders. You keep buying ex-library books you won’t read. Considering local university library + interlibrary loan have everything, it’s just an ego thing.
Math, math, math. Get through Vector Calc, DE, Linear Algebra, and lag behind in Physics by 1-2 semesters as they do at Universities. So for example, finish Single-Variable Calc, then you can start on Sequences/Series at they same time you learn Mechanics from an Intro book, and then E&M once you've got Multi-Variable Calc down. Just being good at math is at least half the battle.
>>16811306the only ego thing is all your assumptions and your retarded line of thinking that one should only use textbooks on loan from a university library. why the fuck would anyone do that when i can just have the books in my own library and access or reference them whenever i damn well please without needing to go borrow them from a school. ah yes, larper's delight- a retard that contributes nothing to the thread, does not provide anything to the question at hand and only serves to attack ad hom other people who are at the very least answering the OP, and why is that? because you think youre better than him for only using books from a school library and having books at home? kys retard
>>16811508I agree with him, you seem like a larper
>>16811291>Recommending Landau and Lifschitz to someone with only a high school background>here to help
>>16811291Bro, your recommendations list is insanely retarded. Graduate students barely work through Landau and you're pretending that's a normal thing to suggest to someone with only a high school math background.
I can only give you advise on theo physics. >elementary math methods for physicists (I used von Delft's book, which covers LA, calc I-III including ODEs and complex analysis and vector calc)>also pick up some proof-based math books for LA and analysis I-III (there are many classics >then you can get started with actual physics: Do mechanics, QM, EM and then statistical physics. You should start with mechanics but I believe it really doesn't matter so much what you do after that. Many do EM, but it's at own discretion, imo. If you happen to speak German, then use Lüst's series. He covers all of those topics (in a lot of detail) in his +1000 page text book. But there are many classics in English that I never read. Like Griffiths ofc.
>>16811597you can also pick some more advanced proved-based math topics along the way, if you feel like it. Like e.g.>functional analysis>ODE and then PDEThese are very helpful for physics and deepen your conceptual understanding of the mathematical machinery but are only supplementary material.
>>16811306I like to write into my books.
>all these brainlets suggesting you can't even begin to understand general mechanics until you take a second semester of topologyThere is literally zero reason to take any specialized vector math courses if you just read the appendixes in your basic physics textbooks. You can start taking em concurrently with linea algebra and then an intro to qm concurrently with your ode course.
>>16811605you can but it's a more frustrating learning process in my experience
>>16811224Aristotle's physics.
>>16811306I'm not a university student, and all the local universities in my city don't allow non-students into their libraries. Realities of latam lol
>>16811758Try seducing a local professor.
>>16811238why string theory, it’s a failed experiment isn’t it? even susskind the father of ST said it can’t describe our universe
>>16811224get a university physics book and go through the whole thing. that will give you more physics than 90% of the human population
