Books Catalog For Undergraduate and Graduate Physics Students

Books Catalog For Undergraduate and Graduate Physics Students (this page is under construction) Most of the students often find it difficult to choose a book for studying a particular branch in physics. Though there are many standard books available. Nevertheless you should always feel free to choose a book which best fits you. You should never judge a book by its cover, author or anything for that matter. I strongly recommend you to explore available books and then decide which book is meant for you. Since without reading a book you can't tell whether it is a good book or not. Second thing which we should consider is notation and language of the author (by language i mean explanation). For instance if you find some book (whether or not it is popular) very understandable, you should definitely go for it. Now, considering you have done enough exploration and still in doubt from where to start. This article gives you a glimpse of a few standard and few advanced level books which will...

Physical Computation: An Introduction to Arduino

Image
Physical computing is branch of science in which we design interactive physical systems that sense and process signals and respond to our analog world accordingly. The study of elements of physical computing using embedded computers is quite beneficial in terms of implementing experimental setups in physics. We all know how physical computation has revolutionized our world. There are many platforms for getting started with physical computation. You may choose raspberry pi or arduino platform. I would recommend arduino for beginners. For more info regarding "what Arduino is all about", you may refer to the link below: Arduino Respberry Pi Click here There is a very good book for getting started with physical computing using Arduino: Programming Arduino™ Getting Started with Sketches SECOND EDITION Simon Monk Click on the link below for buying this book.

Books for Physics Students

Image
There are many books available for a student who is doing physics. Some books which I would like to recommend are following: 1. Mechanics   As I would like to nickname this branch as heart of physics, for doing physics you must have a strong grasp in Mechanics. Hence it becomes very important for any physics student to have a good comprehesive book. Some books are listed here: Introduction to classical mechanics by David Morin Click here An introduction to mechanics by Daniel Kleppner Click here Feynman lectures Vol:I Click here Mechanics by L.D.Landau and E.M.Lifshitz Click here The theoretical minimum I by Leonard susskind Click here 2. Computational Physics Without computation any physicist can't imagine his research work in today's date. So you can estimate how much important the computation is.  Some books are listed here: An introduction to numerical analysis by Atkinson Click here Computational physics problem solving with py...
