Calculus Stewart
Linear algebra done right
Linear algebra done wrong
Some introductory statistics book
Feynman Lectures Vol 1 and 2
Some inorganic and organic chemistry books, I don’t know any and I’m bad at chemistry
Do the exercises
The sci wiki has book recommendations on all topics, some a are good and some are autistic
thanks anon
Don't be stupid and go through those textbooks, instead do these.
Mathematics for Physicists by Altland
Complex Analysis by Eiderman
ORDINARY Differential equations by Logan
Mathematical Methods by Blennow
Then do only the mechanics and electricity and magnetism only sections of "physics for scientists and engineers" by Knight
Pirate these books and their solutions manual from libgen.rs
Once you go through Knight, work through classical mechanics by Taylor, electrodynamics by griffith,QUANTUM MECHANICS BY GRIFFITHS 2ND EDITION THEN quantum mechanics by bes BECAUSE BES HAS SOLUTIONS TO ALL PROBLEMS IN HIS BOOK, statistical mechanics by Reif, look up their solutions on libgen.rs as well.
It's all you need to do as a undergraduate physicist.
I FORGOT QUANTUM FIELD THEORY BY MAGGIORE, ITS AN OXFORD BOOK
thank you for your time to suggest those physics textbooks
how much time did it take you to go through all the works you mentioned?
>Mathematics for Physicists by Altland
>Complex Analysis by Eiderman
Sternberg's Advanced Calculus is better for physicists
Who the frick has the time for this shit. It takes like 1 year to go though each book
Waste of time

Shit list. Almost none of undergrad physics is relevant to math. Undergrads don't even get to quantum field theory, which is a prerequisite to most of the interesting stuff in modern physics. I can give some recommendations for just learning qft if you're interested.
Know basic mechanics, stuff from first year physics. Read the first 4 chapters of Schutz's general relativity, best place to learn special relativity and tensors in physics. Read the first half or so of Shankar's quantum mechanics, it's a clear intro but the later chapters aren't very good, also I think it covers enough classical mechanics but if not look at Goldstein's chapters on lagrangians and hamiltonians. Read the first 4 chapters of Sakurai's quantum mechanics. Now you should be able to read qft books like Lahiri and Pal, Ryder, Peskin and Schroeder, and Srednicki.
For further reading, some interesting books are Bertlmann's anomalies in qft, Coleman's aspects of symmetry, Atiyah's geometry and physics of knots, Hori's mirror symmetry, Ammon's gauge/gravity duality, Becker's string and M theory, Francesco's conformal field theory, Zinn-Justin's qft and critical phenomena
>two introductory bloated lin alg books
nice bait
Is Keisler's infinitesimal calculus an autistic recommendation?
I have both, worked through them equally. I used Stewart more for sequences and series (and the some ODEs). Now about to start multivariable calculus.
What even is the point of these "higher calculus" books? Why even read a non-rigorous book on shit like sequences and series? That's Analysis I stuff, might as well read Amann Escher at that point
Stewart is garbage. Copypasted exercises and shit treatment of calculus
How does one escape the midwit syndrome? I find myself incapable of understanding the world around me . Plus I'm socially moronic
the same as you, anon. I'm waiting for some help here, I'm as socially moronic as you, I can't even find words to discuss normie discussions with my parents
See https://sheafification.com/the-fast-track/
Suffer through undergrad material, learn quantum field theory asap.
For undergrad physics. Just read these Schutz's GR book for SR, shankar's QM, sakurai's QM, lahiri and pal's QFT, peskin and schroeder's QFT + all Landau & Lifshitz books. After that, both of the Deligne books on QFT + ST
For math, read baez-gauge fields, bertlmann-anomalies in qft, https://arxiv.org/abs/2101.02031 , schlichenmaier-riemann surfaces, http://geocalc.clas.asu.edu/pdf/OerstedMedalLecture.pdf
http://math.stanford.edu/~vakil/216blog/FOAGnov1817public.pdf & Kato's "Heart of Cohomology" for intuition
(encyclopedia of mathematical sciences) Algebra I–X
(encyclopedia of mathematical sciences) Algebraic Geometry I–IV
This book is the most friendly serious book to start
https://www.claymath.org/library/monographs/cmim01c.pdf
https://jila.colorado.edu/~ajsh/astr3740_17/grbook.pdf
Then after you're finally at what mathematicians and physicists actually care about when they talk about rigorous physics.

Imagine thinking that Math is in any way relevant when OP has admitted he is a midwit.
Linear algebra by Shilov => Baby Rudin => Stein and Shakarchi analysis books (all 4 of them in order)
Add basic group theory and topology texts and tada, you know more math than many graduate students!
