Spivak physics for mathematicians djvu

Read Weyl. On this topic, at least, Landau and Lifschitz are not trustworthy. Or else the original papers by Einstein and Hilbert. It is unfortunate that Weyl and Hilbert, in order to justify to themselves publishing something where they felt Einstein obviously had priority, felt it necessary to include «something more» so each one tried to unify gravity with electromagnetism I would like to, but I cannot bring myself to do it.

Mathematics is a language in which physicist express their ideas. It is mathematics which helps to reach and imagine results which are far beyond reach of direct imagination of a physicist mind, at times.

Mathematics really helps to imagine complex ideas. A mathematician has all the tools ready in his hand to learn physics, as physics utilizes power of mathematics to understand nature.

Hence, I believe that it would be of really help if mathematician understands how physicist employs math and how physicist see or interpret math for physical concepts.

With classics like Landau's book, Goldstein's book, I would suggest two other classics: Feynman's Lectures on physics part 1 and Berkeley physics course part 1 for classical mechanics. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.

Mathematics is the part of physics where experiments are cheap. Arnold pauli. By no means is mathematics a part of physics. Mathematical models are used to explain physics. Mathematics exists as an art in its own form. It may or may not have anything to do with Reality. One of the few books to represent a concept in a mathematically intuitive way graphs and also in a physics kind of intuitive way applications.

Ted Bunn. I am currently reviewing Classical Mechanics now and want to move on to General Relativity some time later. He not only did Sachs and Wolfe but was one of the 3 people who laid out a mathematically coherent and invariant theory of gravitational waves it's easy when linear, not so in full GR. The other 2 were Penrose and Bondi. I have not read his book but he was mathematically precise and rigorous, and physically astute, went to the physical issue, and wrote well maybe a little concise, but that's the math.

Peter Morgan. But people are different so one has to try fro himself. Feynman's Lectures will be an exact place to learn physicist point of view. The O. So Feynman is useless, and Landau is worse than useless for this particular purpose. I think Kostant wrote a book about relativity that is worth reading and will be similar to Spivak in mindset. As far as I know, for example, V. Arnold, a mathematician , suggested Landau's series.

I've read Landau and I assure you that he does not know what a definition is. It seems that John Bell also found much to criticise in Landau's ability to see the logic of a situation, see one of Bell's last, and most important, papers, «Against Measurement», which contains point by point analyses of Landau's treatment of Quantum Measurement, and treatments by Gottfried and by someone else, I forget.

Written in an engaging and straightforward style, and assuming little background in mathematics, the book is rigorous but accessible to non-mathematicians.

Using databases as an entry to category theory, it begins with sets and functions, then introduces the reader to notions that are fundamental in mathematics: monoids, groups, orders, and graphs -- categories in disguise. After explaining the "big three" concepts of category theory -- categories, functors, and natural transformations -- the book covers other topics, including limits, colimits, functor categories, sheaves, monads, and operads.

Read Physics For Mathematicians Mechanics I By Michael Spivak Customer, definitely surprising, Let me just first say that I had no idea what I was to expect when browsing through this book, but it was fair priced so I decided to take a shot.

It ended up being a great read with some very entertaining stories, my personal favorite was about the Mariana Web, and the Red Room. I would say if you want a quick and entertaining read you should definitely purchase this book! On the other side of the spectrum, I would recommend Spivak's Physics for Mathematicians [1] strongly. Michael David Spivak born May 25, [1] is an American mathematician specializing in differential geometry , an expositor of mathematics , and the founder of Publish-or-Perish Press.
