Built on Facts

Here’s a new feature for this website that I’m going to try out.  One of the daunting things about studying physics is the profusion of textbooks.  Some are terrible, most are mediocre, and a shining few are really excellent.  I’m going to keep a list of those books which I’ve used in my classes and found to be at least pretty good.  There will also be short comments about what I thought of them.  So far this list is not complete but it’s got a pretty broad base to start with.  I have a few more to add in the coming weeks, and as I take more graduate classes I’ll be able to evaluate the textbooks I’m assigned and I’ll add the good ones to the list.  You can leave reviews or comments at that page as well.  So here we go:

As an added bonus for me, books purchased from Amazon from the links here will give a small percentage of the profit to this site, at no added cost to you at all.  Even if you just get to Amazon from the links but buy something else, the site still gets a small bit of the purchase price.  So if you want, you can support this site for free when you buy books!
