Please comment if anyone knows how close it is to the truth. These are some of the most elegant books ever written on the subject of physics. It would be good for a math major to see and use index notation - too many have a unhealthy disrespect for it!
I haven't read Thirring The first volume of Spivak's "Physics for Mathematicians" is already available, actually.
Did anyone here read Spivak's book? I like the way he writes.
The Theory of Spinors. It may turn out later to have an application. For Quantum Mechanics, I would recommend Merzbacher's and Weinberg's books in addition to Sakurai's book suggested above. From Quantum Cohomology to Integrable Systems. Overall rating No ratings yet 0. Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Statistics. This requires lots of mathematical prerequisites.
I love Spivak's other books. Cook Jan 2 '11 at 3: Link is to current edition, but this is the book that many of us have used for decades, including myself at a small liberal arts school. It's also the book used at Stanford. I think you can use any edition from the last years Physics for Scientists and Engineers - Serway and Jewett CalTech's intro book University Physics - Young, Hugh, Ford and Freedman one of MIT's intro books Frankly, I recommend you go to the syllabus of the introductory, calculus-based physics from a school you respect and select that textbook as a reference.
Feynman is not lacking mathematics, but it is not as rigorous. My impression was that Goldstein ans Jackson were The standard textbooks for mechanics and electrodynamics, respectively. No one mentioned them here so are they not that popular after all? I recommend avoiding University Physics by Young et al. It's not a bad book, but it's very much a heavily marketed textbook, meaning it lacks elegance and beauty and is overshadowed by other books for self-study e.
Griffiths is popular with some professors and I liked him because he is more accessible. French's Principles of Modern Physics These books have more math than the typical introductory physics textbooks. That said, most of what was mentioned does NOT present stuff the way a math guy likes so -- assuming you are a junior or senior in a math undergrad program -- my recommendations are, For geometry and dynamical systems as applied to Classical Mechanics: A Contemporary Approach Jorge V.
