A world-class physicist and a citizen scientist combine forces to teach Physics 101--the DIY way

"The Theoretical Minimum" is a book for anyone who has ever regretted not taking physics in college--or who simply wants to know how to think like a physicist. In this unconventional introduction, physicist Leonard Susskind and hacker-scientist George Hrabovsky offer a first course in physics and associated math for the ardent amateur. Unlike most popular physics books--which give readers a taste of what physicists know but shy away from equations or math--Susskind and Hrabovsky actually teach the skills you need to do physics, beginning with classical mechanics, yourself. Based on Susskind's enormously popular Stanford University-based (and YouTube-featured) continuing-education course, the authors cover the minimum--the theoretical minimum of the title--that readers need to master to study more advanced topics.

An alternative to the conventional go-to-college method, "The Theoretical Minimum" provides a tool kit for amateur scientists to learn physics at their own pace.

用户评价

守恒律、对称性和泊松括号之间的关系讲的极其明了，磁场的例子也十分恰当的展示出gauge transformation和gauge invariant的细微联系！

未必多好

如果不想读朗道的力学就读这个吧。作者有一系列的理论物理课程从最简单的力学到超弦理论，如果数学功底够好，看这个系列简直超级爽，直接碾压各种物理。例如第二个系列就狭义相对论和电动力学就直接用朗道场论里方法来推导，爽爆了。

仅仅是大学一年级的物理

挺好的经典力学入门书，虽然没有量子力学和相对论听起来这么炫酷，但是数学和物理的美和优雅让人震惊。 另外科里奥利力和陀螺进动的推导很简洁优雅。 在这本书上面寄托的东西稍微有点多。
