One major advantage in physics is if you already have all the math you need. Most people, when studying physics, are learning both the math and the physics. If you know the math and can concentrate on learning the physics, then the physics is typically considerably more straightforward.

For example, when I took the undergraduate course in Classical Mechanics, most of the students were struggling with the math. I had already seen pretty much all math needed for the course except Calculus of Variations. As a result, I had it relatively easy in the course while most of the class was struggling most of the time.

Imagine carrying the entire maths curriculum with those books! Either you would have back pain or six packs...or both!

[thomasflanagan]

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your content. You inspired me to try hard to understand math, pursue physics, and now I’m going to learn Python! I’m sure you inspire many other people so keep it up!

Nice collection of books and review. Thanks. My first exposure to programming was in high school in the 1970s in which there was a fairly large HP calculator a model before the HP92 that had LED display with numbers about an inch high in my Geometry class. I used to write a short program on it to just count numbers from 1 to as high as it could go. It was fairly fast but when I got board with the math lecture I could look at it counting. Later I taught myself BASIC language and then went on to studying chemistry which became my profession as a medicinal chemist. In the late 90s living in silicon valley there appeared to be many more jobs in programming and a lot of chemistry jobs were being outsourced to China so I started learning programming again via UC Extension night classes. I started with C, then skipped C++ and went to Java because it was the hot new language. I remember the instructor who was obviously a C++ person seemed to not like Java, probably because it had become much more popular than C++ and he always used to say, well in C++ we have this feature, Java doesn't have it deridingly. Anyway I never went to work full time as a programmer but I did write some software for a friend in Java that interfaced with a database as an applet for telephone service people at UC Davis, then we sold it to UCLA as well so I did make some money on that. Later I learned Python from the book you reviewed here. I liked it but it was pretty wordy and as I read it, it took notes to create a much shorter version of the book for myself. I like the Nutshell books from O'reilly including the book Python in a Nutshell because once you learn how to program, these shorter reference books are faster and are good reference besides the online Python website. Sorry for writing such a long comment. I retired in 2018 still working as a research scientist for Novartis although I had been laid off 3 times late in my career which became quite common as compared to early days when you could work for one big pharma company your whole life.

Serge Lang has some great publications. I never got it, but I hear his graduate level text in abstract algebra is a very popular text. Sadly, I didn't become interested in math until college in my computer science major. I had really great math professors who really pushed me to fix my math weaknesses and learn the beauty behind mathematics. I was able to get a ton of old books from professors in computer science and math professors after they cleaned out their offices. Feels great to be able to pick them up and read and learn from them.

Nice video.
A revelation for me was computer coding and the logic behind it, which made parts of math for me way more relateable and thus comprehensible. So being able to think in a computer since way really helped me with some of the actual math, pretty upside down but that is how it was. About the books:
Tipler is one of the most popular authors of physics books in my opinion. During my undergrad it was like this: Everybody who had books by Tipler or Haliday and Resnick passed their experimental physics with flying colors. Everybody who was stuck with the german textbooks from german authors really had a very hard time. Since then I became very fond with english textbooks in genetal for natural science as thete are naturally more good ones due to the larger audience.

My favorite part of this video is where you state you achieved mediocre results studying Physics I, and II but aced Physics III. That's so counterintuitive. It's a little like saying I received mediocre results study single variable and multivariate calculus, but when I hit differential equations I nailed it. My experience with science and math topics is you are definitely building on what you've already learned most of the time.

I wish you'd spent more time trying to explain why. If you even know. Maybe a topic for a stand alone video.

As always, great video. I watch them all, Sorcerer.

[AggressiveMenace]

By far, my favorite subjects, and I don't discard learning Chemistry by my own one day.

[jurrytaalib-deen]

Just a few days ago I was thinking that I really just want to improve my math skills, understanding of physics, and to get better at coding. And here you are with this video. Thank you, Math Sorcerer. Also, I'd like to ask you a question. I'm 25 years old, I'm married, with a toddler. I'm in the military and am currently a recruiter. I'm also a college student. I only need 8 more classes to graduate with an Applied Math Degree (all math classes). However, it feels impossible to graduate due to my job and family life. For years I've been trying to find the balance, but I still haven't.

All of my classes are offered at times that I need to work, and because I'm focused on family life as well as my work life it is really hard to balance them. My wife, and everyone else tell me that I should change my major to something related to my job and that is online, but every time I reflect on doing that, I tend to come back to the idea of just finishing what I started. Maybe I'm stubborn. I know I have the discipline to finish but I don't have the vision. I feel pretty confused and that if I don't finish this, then I'm betraying myself. However, no one seems to understand this except me. My university allows students to test out of 30 credit hours via exam. Thus, I have been focusing on self-studying. However, I'm struggling to find an effective approach. I have so many resources that I tend to start reading one math book like D.E by Zill, to reading a different D.E book. I end up being stagnant. I'm not sure exactly how to tackle this. If you, or anyone else could give me any advice, I'd greatly appreciate it. I've been watching your videos for 3 years now and I really appreciate your content.

Courses Needed: (Diff. EQ, Applied Linear Algebra, Abstract Algebra, Numerical Analysis I & II, Complex Variables, and Partial Diff. EQ.)

I like C++ & C#. I like math books with code, and code books with math, and have a collection of fractal and neural network books.

[reflxyy]

Python is the programming language everyone has been trying to learn. Even before programming I knew what Python was. Nice video!

Also, can you make a video to reach the basic level of mathematics of a fresh undergrad/pre-uni? Something more low-key for people who are weak or new in math.

[Vectorized_mind]

Computer scientist here.... Python is great but in my opinion C++ is the best programming language ever.

[douglasstrother]

I used Tipler's "Modern Physics" (2nd Ed.) as a Sophomore. It deliberately skips the details of many derivations (Ya gotta save something for the Upper Division courses to cover!) and concentrates on the physical implications of the mathematical results.

[userRatex]

You need to bring more Physics books <3

[adryanblack]

Good point about power going out for a reason to keep books. Please make video on that and telling us which books we should keep vs giving up

[yuvrajsingh]

Can you please make a video for "introduction to computer programming books(with variables, algorithm, pseudo code). "
I am doing major in cs and i also love maths., can you please help me.
Sorry for bad english.

[DanyLemieux]

Friendly advice: I suggest you to contact AoPS to trade books vs a series of review videos of their books. I don't see how it can't help both sides, thank you and happy new year Sir !

[jaylaanyahoocom]

I really appreciate your content. The imposter syndrome hit me hard last semester, but your videos reminded me that Math isn't easy, so a master's isn't for the weak.

[salkinfamilychiropractic]

Love the "Magic: The Gathering" coasters.

[issammaine]

I hope you do a video someday on "Physics by Robert Resnick and David holiday" from the 70s, it has a green cover (you already have it).
