Let's have a reading group. Dubs decides the textbook >Rotman - An Introduction to Algebraic Topology (yes I'm sure this is going to fail, but what if it doesn't)
>>16996133 Noice looks good, and a .pdf is the first Google result so even people who don't know the shadow libraries can join in Alright /sci/ let's dig in
>>16995945 This useful if you are trying to.pass a first year physics class? I know thermodynamics is a weed out course historically. Would this help or it for higher level learning?
>>16996245 Advice on basics thermodynamics then. I have seen physics books that werent calculus heavy but wonder if they are worth reading for physics.
>>16996248 All intro thermo books are kind of shit since they're required to paper over a lot of complexity, even in the definition of basic thermodynamic quantities (most of which need to be modified or don't even work at all in relativistic, quantum, or even nonequilibrium cases). I used Borgnakke when I took thermo, and it's okay I guess. Fermi's book is at least short and doesn't waste your time. Just don't expect t oreally understand most concepts without significantly more physics.
