I think too much stuffing of Physics is undermining your ability to ask a simple coherent question

I'll be starting physics in January. Could you provide a link for this book?

Why've I been banned

(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)

I think I have the 5 or 6th edition of Halliday, Resnick, Walker somewhere on my computer...

>>6235
Do post it if you can find it. I would really appreciate it, as I am currently using a 1965 Berkeley textbook to prepare for next semester.

I would post the pdf in a rar but its quite large...

instead have this:

this is the one my friend used
Fundamentals Of Physics 8E (Halliday) [Chapter 1-8]

Fundamentals Of Physics 8E Extended 8E (Halliday) [Chapters 9-15]:

I just bought the paperback from a bookstore, cost me all of about 10 USD. I strongly recommend buying a paperback because having physical copies makes it much easier to study. Downloading and printing is might even cost you more.

The only thing conspicuously lacking in the R&H books is a good treatment of the differential forms of Maxwell's equations, it only covers the integral forms. Oh and it only superficially covers relativity and quantum physics, but if you're looking for that, high school physics books are not really going to cover it.

>>6205
What didn't you understand?

as far as phys goes, hrw is balls deep. wtf do you want for math tho?? calc, diffEQ, linearAlg?!?!?

fuck chem

Chang's General Chemistry is somewhat handy, although not precisely the best.

I couldn't learn math from books. I guess I'm lacking abstraction or something, but I just couldn't get things straight if it wasn't explained by someone. The most used was Leithold's Calculus.

The best books ever written are Mir Editorial. I don't give a shit if you hate soviets, those are fucking masterpieces.

Also, sauce is gigapedia.org (registration just requires mail, and has links for a shitload of books).

Feynman lectures on physics

>>6262
Well, I finished the AP calc BC (the harder one) which covers basic integral and differential calculus and applications. So where should I be headed from here? Multi variable calculus and differential equations?

>>6268
I'm using "Chemistry: the central science" by Brown/LeMay/Bursten, which I'm essentially done with. What would you recommend for organic chem? Preferably something that goes from basic hydrocarbons right up to complex biochemistry.
Also, have you got a link for the Mir Editorial stuff? Googling it just gives a lot of russian stuff. Also thanks for the sauce, very useful.

File 125935266899.jpg - (55.49KB , 300x300 , 1258036361758.jpg )

Atkins' Physical Chemistry up in this motherfucker. The most useful book I've ever bought.

>>6275
As answer to the chemical part of your question, "Chemistry" by Catherine Housecroft covers ALL the basics and is well written and very comprehendible , it is a 4-pounder, but there are a few chapters on physical and inorganic chemistry you can skip.

>>6275
Looks like, since the books were written in the midst of the cold war, english translations are not common on the internets.

If you don't mind reading spanish:

www. miraclesalad. com/ webtools/ clip.php? clip=3100

Also, for Organic Chemistry I used Wade's. It may not be easy to handle, however it covers the most basic stuff (structures and benzene) and keeps raising level until explaining crazy shit like hormones. Although, if the point is making use of such knowledge, get your hands in Voet or Lehninger's Biochemistry (also in gigapedia). Those are fucking badasses, and deal from basic structures and macromolecules, to cancer, cloning and proteomics. Man, I loved reading that book (and using it's cd).

For making use of all that math in your brain, get to discrete math and make use of all diff eq, so that you can fuck computers. Another option would be diving into vectorial calculus, so that you understand the whole weather and the stars... and then fuck with chaos theory. You can even get to engineering: fluid mechanics and heat transfer, so that you can build your boiler, fix your piping, make an oven or a toilet. Then learn dynamics, automation and engines and build your fucking car.

>>6203

My Father used books written by Halliday and Resnick..

And I used one in my calc-based AP phys class in highschool. Those texts are invaluable, and those two men know how to write a good textbook.

If you want a good math text to accompany it, I would suggest:

Calculus & Analytic Geometry 2ND Edition
Holt, Rinehart, & Winston
Jan 1, 1967

This is probably the best calculus text I've ever seen, and I've seen quite a few. It covers proofs and derivations for pretty much everything, and is in such a presentable style that you can learn right out of the book itself without the aid of anyone else.

That depends on what you want to learn in math.

I use "Engineering Mathematics" third edition by croft, davison and hargreaves

Our engineering course also used that book.

It was indeed, awesome!

OP here.
So I managed to dredge up something by Mir Publishers: Problems in Physics by I.E. Irodov. Very difficult stuff, I highly recommend it.

I have the 6th edition, and even 5 years after my physics classes I find this book challenging. Highly recommended read.

Would anyone happen to have a copy of Chemistry for Dummies? I would prefer a MegaUpload link if possible.

I can't seem to find anything about that particular book, but I did find this very useful

Thats the MIT undergrad course for chemistry. Its a wee math heavy, but then again it has to be.

>>6701

I should mention right off the bat that I never even took Chemistry in High School. Didn't have the opportunity (not going into details). I need something for the complete beginner.

File 126123605384.jpg - (1.35MB , 462x700 , 1164940400990.jpg )

Just google "Physics complete torrent" and you get a lot of good content, even Celestial Mechanics! All organized.

Also of note, "Chemistry complete torrent" and "Math complete torrent". Get them all, its great!

http://www.youtube.com/user/khanacademy This guy is amazing. He's better at teaching everything than any class/lecture. He doesn't have a vid for everything though =(

>>6203

Wow, travelled lightyears in less than a semester... you really are a physics master!

any of the Schaums books are good for individual subjects, got through my optics and quantum exams with them.
Probably not the best for understanding and a basic knowledge is needed to get even a bit from them but they are very good for cramming exams.

>>6717
holy shit, thanks for that link. That guy is AWESOME.
I've spent so much time looking for a book that teaches basically all the math you're supposed to learn in school, because I've got huge gaps. Didn't really find anything too great, and now I find out that there were those awesomely awesome video lectures all along...

Also, I second OP. It's a great physics book and it has helped me a lot, it basically got me through my university entrance exam.

i need help finding downloads of scanned files for this quarters textbooks.

i used /rs/ on that other site and came up empty. so if anyone could direct me to a free filehosting search engine that is also registration free (i know a couple, but they're gone now) it could save this anons ass. or if anyone knows a torrent site that specializes in lists of textbooks that would also work.

both >>6253 and gigapedia didn't have results.

most important book i am looking for right now is 'College Physics: A Strategic Approach' Randall D. Knight (isbn 9780805306347) - in case anyone just happens to have a direct link lying around.

Dear Sir/Madem

I am requesting a copy of a textbook on electronics, mechanics or electricity.

thanks you

Anyone have any books on Artificial Intelligence programming or ethics?

for organic chemistry i recommend the "clayden, greeves, warren and wothers", amazing book.

David Morin Intro to Classical Mechanics (Not really an intro book to physics per se...gets to relativity and stuff)

Feynman Lectures Vol 1, 2, 3. Not the traditional textbooks, but amazing when trying to actually get a fundamental grip on the laws of physics. Read carefully.

Everything you ever wanted to know about psychology

h t t p://thepiratebay.org/torrent/5229849/Psychology_Complete_(alt_seeders)

Someone earlier mentioned

Calculus & Analytic Geometry 2ND Edition
Holt, Rinehart, & Winston
Jan 1, 1967


Does this cover the equiv of Calc I-III at a college level, or just Calc I? I'm looking to teach myself the equiv of calc I-III via used textbooks and trips to the uni math center if I don't understand something. Just curious how much this covers, I've never studied calc before so I can't open up a book and go "oh man this is everything I need to know" or look and see it's only 1/3

For physics, look up Tsokos physics book for the IB diploma: Fucken' masterpiece.

Any very basic/foundation neuroscience or (again very basic) psychology would be immensely appreciated. I'm still relatively young but I'm in one of the best schools in my country (UK) so as long as it's not TOO complex, I should be fine... Thank you OP for starting this magnificent thread...

Stewart sucks. Some people here mentioned better textbooks for Calculus. I would go with those.

I've got about 120 gigs of ebooks, I'll host em up on an FTP for you nerds, most are science textbooks. It'll be a few days though, gotta get my fileserver setup again and I'm probably gonna get a bunch more drives and move to a RAID05 array so it might actually be like, 2 weeks or more. ANYWAY I have a bunch and they're sorted according to category and I'll host them at some point in the near future.

How long for, Mr Textbook man?

What is the 'armature current'? I thought the armatures where just to produce a current in the field windings!

Why can some motors run on both AC and DC power supplies but others can not? What is it about their particular wirings?

How does the magnitude of the torque on a motor change as the coil rotates? Is there any equation for working out the torque based on the number of turns of wire, the number of amps of power supply (i'm using 5amp) and that it is DC?

Many thanks!What is the point of brushes on a motor? what does 'power house' mean and how come the armature coil doesn't accidently spin on motors since it is attached to the field coil?

>>8489
>> What is the 'armature current'?
It's the current through the armature. By definition the armature is the part that moves (rotor). In some designs the armature is powered and the field coils make the output. In others it's the other way round.

>>Why can some motors run on both AC and DC power supplies but others can not.
There are several ways of designing both motors and generators/alternators. Some designs will work as either. Some will work with both AC and DC.

>>How does the magnitude of the torque on a motor change as the coil rotates.
At stall the inductive reactance (back EMF) is zero since there is no relative movement. Once things start to move back EMF starts to take its toll.

>> What is the point of brushes on a motor?
How else are you going to feed current into the spinning armature? Brushes and slip rings or brushes and a commutator are the simplest way of doing it.

>>7219
Engineering Your Future: A Project-Based Introduction to Engineering by Alan G. Gomez is very good for an intro if that's what you're looking for.

>>8576
I have to disagree. I used that book for my intro to engineering course and can honestly say that it is a wad of useless tripe. It is is a collection of brief synopsis of various engineering fields. Completely useless unless you're trying to decide what kind of engineer you want to be, or just don't know how to use a spreadsheet. I sold it back the moment I got the chance. I still have all of my other science/math/engineering books. They have information which I actually consider useful.

I had this book for two semesters of Physics at RPI. It r0x0r3d.

So I'm back, I've got the fileserver rebuilding it's array right now. I'd rather not get a visit from the cops or have my internet shut off, so is there a way for me to host these books that isn't obnoxious to you folks but still protects me?

hey /sci/ I just stumbled upon something I'd like to share. Linked is a list of ~500 free physics books. There are links at the bottom of the page for math, engineering, programming and medicine. I also highly recommend looking at the rest of the site because it has books on nearly everything.

http://www.e-booksdirectory.com/physics.php

Bittorrent + proxy?

The frowned upon Bittorrent + tor?

>>8753
You could put a password on it that we would know, or have people register and have them login but, to register they have to post a book. (so police/anti-piracy groups couldn't do it without breaking the law themselves)
Or have people agree to terms before going on the site for the first time which include no access to cops/whatever...
But these would probably require php and stuff, an easier option might be to only link to it somewhere that google et al don't see (the IRC or something maybe) and blocking search engines from the site (look up robots.txt to find out how to do that) and they'd probably never hear about it.

>>8845

I'll hop on the IRC later and give it to the folks there, should be good. Good plan.

I've been using www.daviddarling.info for basic explanations of physics, chemistry, biology, and math. Everything on the website seems credible enough, but it doesn't really update the articles that often. It updates the front page with news articles every couple of days, though.

Can anyone tell me how good this would be for those less versed in applied sciences? It's been simple enough for me so far. I never would have known how the Fibonacci sequence or non-euclidean geometry works if it weren't for this website.
