Physics reading

I realized eventually that I have recommended dozens of science – cosmology, field theory, hydrodynamics – books and textbooks in my posts,  so I thought: why not to put them in a single comprehensible list? Said and done.

Not all books I recommend in the posts are included into this list. First of all, I decided to only include the books I personally own or have read them from the beginning to the end.

Second and most important – I would like to offer you a free support for the books in this list. That is, if you study a book from the list, you can ask me about something that is unclear to you in the text. Or you can ask me to help you to solve a problem from the book Physics reading

Why do I want to offer so much for free? Physics reading Well, one reason is that I really want to reach perfection in understanding theoretical physics. The second reason is that it’s so good to feel your brain stretching Physics reading The third and final reason is that in return I will ask you to subscribe to this blog (if you have not yet already done this) Physics reading

But enough explanations, and please let me to present the best (from my point of view) list of books about theoretical physics and its applications.

Cosmology

Quantum field theory: basics

Quantum field theory: quantum chromodynamics

String theory

Classical mechanics

Classical field theory

Hydrodynamics and turbulence

Condensed matter physics: basics
