 This is Chichou. Welcome to my channel and welcome to another video and what we're gonna do in this video is I'm sort of gonna show you some of the physics books that I have in my book collection and the books that I use to reference material and the books that I use to actually learn physics, okay? And this is a video that I've been meaning to make for the last couple of years at least and And thanks to one of the people that's been following us on YouTube They reminded me a couple of times that I had promised To put this video out and this is this is videos sort of a result of that coming out at this point because I promised them as soon as we got back into a full-blown Video editing production. This was going to be the first one of the first videos that we're gonna put out, okay? and This is related to a lot of content that we created in the past as well, right? Because book recommendations is one of the first types of questions that Started coming my way when I started putting out the language of mathematics videos and One of the first videos we put out actually I don't know who was at the end of series one of the language of mathematics or it was the end of series two of the language of mathematics where I made Five book recommendations because people at that time were asking me for math book recommendations, right? And since we've done a certain amount of physics since then I promised that I would put out a physics book recommendation as well, right? Because my background is really Geophysics with a minor in mathematics. I'm not math major. I'm a physics major, okay? And I sort of went through my book collection and pulled out the books that I have as references for physics and a couple of these books Actually three four of these books that I have here are the books that I used way back in the day to learn physics Okay now one of the books the main book that I have is One of the books that I showed in my first book recommendation videos, right? where People were asking me to give them math book recommendations and I pulled out a math book Which I showed you guys and I pulled out this physics book Okay The math book that I use and this is I'll show you this because math is just basically that the foundation of physics really, right? So it's a good idea to have a math book handy as well if you're studying physics But this is my to-go-to math book. It has been for the last 30 years, right? And it's calculus Howard Anton third edition and this is you know the one of the books that I showed in my first Book video recommendation, right? And it's a fantastic book I have stuffed bookmark and I've gone through this through university years I went through about 75% of this book learning calculus doing getting my math minor, right? So I have this and this is the book that I've referenced most in terms of Maths and physics sciences in my life, okay? I Still very much love it As far as my main physics books that I use to learn physics and What I reference, okay? This is one of the other books that I showed in that first video that we put out About the math book collections, and I believe it was in 2009 or something like this 2008 2009 Maybe 2010 2009 though, I believe so like 10 years ago, right? And this is physics for scientists and engineers with modern physics second edition and it's Seaway, okay? This book I've probably referenced just as much as this next book that I'm gonna show you this one probably more So I probably referenced this book more than any of the other physics books that are about to show you Maybe equivalent this next book. I'm gonna show you is gonna be equivalent to this one, okay? And this book came out When did this book come out? This is Copyrighted 1986, okay, and the author for this is Raymond A. Surway, okay? I'm sure you the name here just in case you want to look it up So here's The info for this book, okay? If you're interested in looking this up Is it a phenomenal book? It's what I learned physics on, right? I Know where the information is. I know how to read this textbook because each test textbook really I don't know if it's science, but even fiction every textbook has sort of a Rhythm to it, right? So I'm familiar with this rhythm. I'm familiar with this tone So this is the book that I reference I find it well enough for me. Okay, like I even have pieces of paper in here where I'm You know talking about Magnetic fields and stuff like this. I have little things that are stuck in there that I drew just for me to Appreciate what was going on, right? With magnetic fields, right? So I have little bits of notes in this Okay, and that's what's something you need to do when you're Learning when you're acquiring a textbook that you're going to be using for a long time Bookmark it put little notes in there Mark up the book if you need to or if you want to write highlight things I really haven't highlighted too much in this Because at the time I wasn't really into highlighting bugs and I didn't realize that this book Was going to stay with me for like 30 years, right? so this is my Main one of my main to go to books right for physics anywhere The other book that I probably reference just as much as this book is this one Fundamental physics second edition Extended and it's holiday and resnick This is the book I hope You can read that fine and again with this one I have things Areas that I've marked off and some of these are marked off a long time ago, right? I got little notes in here and when you're looking to Find a book I find out when this was put out Find a book that you're going to use A lot And this one came out the last edition of this Which is I believe this is a third edition. This is a second edition the extended second edition is 1981, right? So this guy was 1986 this guy is 1981, right? so the age of the book really doesn't matter because physics what we know so far from the You know just introductory physics a lot of the stuff is preliminary physics where you encounter in grade 11, grade 12 First-year physics and second-year physics, right? You haven't really specialized in anything yet because physics specializes in things, right? You can learn the basic physics and then Decide that you want to go into fluid dynamics. You want to go into electromagnetic and magnetic methods. You want to go into Specialized on the geophysics from going to seismic refraction and reflection or whatnot, right? So you can Really narrow your focus when it comes to physics What we're talking about here really is an introduction to all the different disciplines and physics, right? But what we talked about previously a video that we put out Which was how to read a textbook, right? And in that video I sort of had multiple points laid out of How I go about reading a textbook and what I find important to be in a textbook, right? So when you're choosing a textbook, maybe physics, maybe mathematics, maybe chemistry, maybe Any other discipline that you want to study what I personally look for is an extended large table of contents, right? Something that spans every chapter and gives you a nice overview of what's in those chapters and a Extended detailed bibliography, right? Or index, my apologies. Extended index where you can look up a certain field, right? When you want to look up a certain topic and find out exactly which pages That information can be found, right? So if you're choosing You know, we're trying to choose a textbook that you're going to learn from and hopefully keep with you for Decades. And again, this one has been with me for 30 years as well Just as long as this one, right? So if you're trying to Find the book that you're going to keep in your book collection That is a discipline that you want to study for an extended period of time Make sure those books have a nice table of contents And a nice index, right? And what's inside Is something that you can relate to that you find easy to read. You like the rhythm The flow of the information, right? And it is very personal and the other thing that we mentioned in that video we put out You know how to read a textbook what I personally look for when it comes to physics and sciences in general I look for detailed drawings, right? This is something that you definitely want especially in a physics textbook and other sciences as well Are detailed drawings with nice little footnotes description of what's going on In the diagrams and references in the text to the diagrams So these are My two main physics textbooks that I use Okay, and of course Always have this guy handy Now There's a little bit more to this Physics is not just about reading the textbooks and understanding the concepts Physics is about doing problems. You need practice when you're learning physics, right? and A lot of these textbooks or any textbooks that you find should have a lot of Solve problems examples that they walk you through the process of How they went about solving the problem and explain to you what the system is all about, right? Because physics is really about different types of systems and systems are really about units So when you're studying physics, what you really have to appreciate what you really have to wrap your head around Are the units involved in that specific field that you're studying at the moment, right? And physics has multiple different fields that you can study Okay Now the best way to learn about these units to learn about these systems is to read the examples and follow through what the thought process was In the books in the textbooks, right? And a good textbook is going to explain to you why they did everything they did When they're providing you with an example of how they do something, right? And a good textbook is going to have supplementary problems questions at the back of your chapter with At least the answers in the back of the book. If not the solutions of how they went about solving those problems. Okay Usually though The questions they have in the textbook that you're studying are not enough or they weren't enough for me Okay So when I was studying physics, there is series of books That that I ended up buying and I have these are the physics ones that I pulled out these are I don't know if these guys are around anymore, right? But these are shums outlines Okay, and what they are are basically here. I'll read you the title for this. This is the seventh edition This is shums Outline series theory and problems of college physics and this is the same one college physics This is the sixth edition Okay, I did for some reason. I didn't use this as much as the seventh edition Right, and let me read you what it says here. It says and this is by Frederick this one is by Frederick Bushett here. Let me bring this up so you see it I don't know if these are these are around right now these series, but There's something called Cole's notes. I don't know. I'm pretty sure Cole's notes as physics as well but I'm pretty sure I've seen other types of series of books that have basically exercises and solutions just straight up exercises and solutions and summaries of each of the concepts for these books for these Disciplines that are going to be showing you how to solve the problems, right? And this thing basically says Including 833 solve problems and 998 supplementary problems That's what physics is about. It's about sitting down and doing problems sitting down and Having having a system explained to you and you having to think about what the problem is Modeling that problem according to the functions the formulas That you know Understanding the units at play and being able to Quantify that system to answer questions That's what these books allow you to do. Okay, unfortunately this thing that the covers come undone, right? And this edition is one that this won't come out This one is a 1979 edition and I believe this one should be the 19 The sixth edition is 1961 wow So there was uh Is this the same author? So fourth edition check this out This is how popular these things are, right? So the fourth edition of this Came out in 1942 the fifth edition came out in 1946 the sixth edition and came out in 1961 right and If this is the same author and should be For some reason Oh, no, this is check this out this sixth edition of shams outline theory and problems and uh of college physics Is daniel sham bs Right bachelor of science. That's who was the main author of this. I believe Okay And it was edited by edited by carl w van der Merwood phd production of physics, right? So this one Is Daniel sham that came out with this book, okay And this one Is the seventh edition and it doesn't have the previous editions to this listed here Actually, the previous editions. It's got copyright 1936 1939 1940 1942 46 61 and 79 so I guess it's the same one But this one the author is credited With frederick j bosch phd, right? Is credited by a different person And these books basically they You know, they have a nice table of contents right in general Okay, or these ones did anyone They should have a nice index They have a nice index right Which is Exactly what you want, right? they have Old school four-place logarithmic tables Man, that is awesome. That is pure awesome, right? They have Extremely important any good physics textbook is going to have your physics constants in there Right, you need the constants in there you need Your factors for conversion to si units Okay, these are the international units. So you need a table like this in your physics textbook Look for it if your book that you're Going to acquire or use to learn physics doesn't have this Put that book away or it doesn't have the constants or doesn't have The formulas now this one should have the formulas or it shows up And actually you usually have the formulas in each chapter the summary of the formulas They'll have They have the greek alphabet prefix for multiples of si units and these ones are Pretty basic. You don't necessarily need this one Okay, this is If you know your mathematics, you should know how that works Yeah, and this one doesn't have the formulas All of them in one area because there's so many disciplines in Physics right so many different fields you can go into but here. Let me show you this one This is current resistance in ohms law chapter 26. It's going to have the definitions of the words, right? It's going to have the formulas It's going to talk about the units right and Additional formulas, right in here and then solve problems Which is fantastic, right, which is exactly what you want And then it'll have supplementary problems that you couldn't do And to solve problems They're going to show you how they went about solving all of them Either at the end of each chapter at the end of the book Okay, so Sean's outlines is something that I used Uh In addition to the textbooks That I used to learn physics, okay And as I mentioned physics has Specific disciplines that you can go into right like the physics textbooks if you're learning them in grade 11 grade 12 even college physics first year You're going to notice that There's so many different chapters that cover so many different things maybe kinematics dynamics Uh Hydrodynamics Or electric circuits and I studied a little bit of electric circuits And I used the shone's outline I found the electric circuit stuff more difficult for me to grasp when I was learning physics And there's different chapters that you're going to have a harder time with than other chapters, right? Like for me kinematics dynamics Just like many other people kinematics people in general tend to Find it easier to understand grasp than electricity than fluid dynamics Or water flow basically that one I Tended to have a hard time with as well, but this one I really needed to I wanted to understand so electronic Circuits and I can't remember why I ended up grabbing this book and this is sort of the same format of things, right? Now once you learn Initially when you're learning physics, right you're going to learn And initially getting into physics is difficult, right? I tell most of my students I find physics 11 way more difficult than physics 12 because physics 11 tries to encompass so much that you get overwhelmed with all the units and all the Assumptions and all the laws and all the constants and all the names of the people involved and coming up with these approximations really because that's what physics is is an approximation of the Physical world around us, right? We're trying to understand so for me I tend to find the Initial stage of trying to learn physics very difficult, right? But slowly once you get into the terminology and understand certain systems We don't constantly have to look up the units or look up the definitions of words and Constantly try to Force yourself to visualize what's happening in a certain situation, right? Once you go deep into physics Once you start specializing in stuff you go beyond these initial textbooks and you start going into more Much more complicated physical concepts, right? And there's a lot of books that I do have in my book collection where They're Realizing in a certain type of physics, right? But one of the ones I'd like to show you and It's basically a textbook for physics, but it's The next type of textbook you would get into, okay? That covers a fair bit of information But it's way more in depth and way more intricate and lays down the foundation for future Studies and physics, right and again this book is something we looked at in the video we put out when we said we're going to talk about Or how to read a textbook, right where we put out that video. I actually added up Editing it into two different formats a longer version and a shorter version, right? Both of them sort of laying out the 20 steps that we had to Reading a textbook I believe and this book is The physics textbook that we took a look at and it's a Feynman lecture, right? The Feynman lecture lectures on physics and this is In volume number two, right? And I flipped through this book. I haven't I really didn't go too deep into higher level physics other than specializing in Physics required to do geophysics, right? And that's going very specialized and I have some geophysics books that Once I graduated from the basic Physics the introduction from grade 1112 first and second year physics. We started really just delving into Physics tech textbooks that really just specialized In geophysics, right? But so I didn't really get a chance to go into this too deep But this is a phenomenal book Okay, it's fantastic. Now. This is Richard. This is Richard Feynman, right playing the bongos Right, awesome. And there's a video on him online Him playing the bongos. Okay, I highly recommend and I highly recommend Listening to his lectures and his philosophy on life if you've never have Um a fantastic teacher if you're looking for one Okay, so this book is fantastic as well if you get, you know, if you have the opportunity and at some point I plan on getting my hands on volume one and volume three of Five and lectures on physics. I don't have them in my collection, right? But you can tell that this thing's got Detailed detailed Table of contents, right? Very nice table of contents The drawings in this books are fantastic Okay, here's one that's related to what I showed you before, right? Magnetic fields and whatnot Okay There is A ridiculous amount of information in this book And if you're going into hardcore physics Where you need to really appreciate the mathematics and Understand The systems Beyond just the basic rudimentary level, which is basically the introduction what I showed you with these textbooks This is the type of textbook you want to get your hands on And just go deep into it, right? And This book again has got a nice index as well So I just wanted to share that I wanted to show you guys These books and I do have a couple other Textbooks physics textbooks that made their way to me But I really haven't used them. There were either books that Friends had that they were taking physics and they weren't going to pursue it any further And they didn't know what to do with the books and they asked me if I take them Find them a home and I said for sure And you know, if I come across any students that want to study physics that Want to get their hands on eating book just as a hobby or they're thinking about going to physics I'm definitely Going to be passing these books on to them and hopefully they'll make use of it in the future for themselves, right until then these are going to be sitting here And I might give give them a look if I find them Useful maybe we'll do a future video and add these as a physics book recommendation as well. Okay So aside from that My apologies for taking so long to come up with this physics book recommendation or just basically show you what I Use the books that I use to learn physics, right? For sure, let me know if there's any other videos that I promise to do that I still haven't got to and I will get to them Thank you for the person that Reminded us a couple of times to put this video out and again the two main textbooks Are this guy right physics for scientists and engineers with modern physics second edition survey and fundamentals of physics second edition extended by holiday and Resnick Don't forget Workbooks Right like shums outlines or coals nose for college physics and stuff like this and if you're going to go into You're going to delve deep into physics the final lectures on physics I found interesting right and at some point I will read them a little bit further. Okay Aside from that, thanks for being here. Thanks for supporting this work. I hope I hope you're having a phenomenal phenomenal day and I'll see you guys in the next video Bye for now
