I would shed tears

[u/BRNitalldown → u/No_Championship5105]

Blessed be Griffiths, mercy of grad students and salvation of undergrads, tome of truth and wellspring of all wisdom, able to teach the wise and the humble alike, amen.

[u/Drneroflame → u/EnolaNek]

Man quantum mechanics was hard but Griffiths made it so much more enjoyable

[u/Away-Experience6890]

Content is great. Some of those end of chapter problems tho ... I still have ptsd from those integrals.

[u/simpsonstimetravel → u/Away-Experience6890]

I get that a physicist is supposed to know how to integrate difficult shit, but i always just get to the integral, check if its the right one and move on.

[u/Away-Experience6890 → u/simpsonstimetravel]

It's weird because its more of a rite of passage for undergrad. In research, its mostly just symbolic integration to generate differential forms, but then these integrals are mostly just solved computationally.

GRIIIITHIIIFFF!!

[u/dover_oxide]

That book still haunts my dreams and I've been out of college for more than a decade.

[u/yukiohana]

I see a potential template 👍

[u/Gidelix → u/[deleted]]

Who hurt you

[u/fogredBromine → u/yukiohana]

[u/LowBudgetRalsei]

It's a nice book :3 im reading it rn, im at the wave guides portion

[u/SetGold902]

Seeing this 20 min before my electromagnetic fields test

[u/Excellent-World-6100 → u/SetGold902]

How'd you do

[u/SetGold902 → u/Excellent-World-6100]

I think pretty well

[u/Excellent-World-6100 → u/SetGold902]

Awesome

[u/Kruse002]

To be honest, I actually would like this as a gift.

[u/Cozwei]

I got this on my birthday

[u/MHPolymath]

Honestly, I would love it 😂

[u/brrraaaiiins]

And instead of a lump of coal, there’s Jackson.

[u/Van_Healsing]

Honestly this was such a good textbook I should by my own personal copy

[u/EconomicSeahorse → u/Van_Healsing]

I bought a copy for my E&M classes (I prefer using physical paper books) and just kept it afterwards haha. It is currently sitting on a shelf at home (next to the quantum mechanics and elementary particle physics books)

[u/vindictive-etcher]

I would sock them in the mouth

[u/ADownStrabgeQuark]

Should I do the version by Griffiths, Freedmon or Taylor?

[u/Star_Wyvern → u/ADownStrabgeQuark]

Griffiths

[u/WanderingWrackspurt]

fr, im only reading the part about vectors rn but its literally better than my class🔥

[u/Dimitrygol]

What's your favorite chapter? Mine's chapter 6 so far

[u/Beif_ → u/Dimitrygol]

Do you people memorize the chapters of your textbooks?

[u/Dimitrygol → u/Beif_]

For griffiths you do

[u/LostSalt24 → u/Dimitrygol]

7’s definitely a fun one, but also pretty tough

[u/EconomicSeahorse → u/Dimitrygol]

Mine is chapter 12, though that's just me being a sucker for things that are relativistic, but like the way Maxwell's equations come together in four vector/tensorial notation is beautiful

[u/DiscoPotato69]

Here is a better Electrodynamics book. Brought tears of joy to my eyes.

[u/LostSalt24]

Oh my god, literally me 2 weeks ago

[u/Grates_ → u/LostSalt24]

Walser?

[u/xovista_star4395]

[Cry]

[u/brrraaaiiins → u/xovista_star4395]

No, that’s Jackson

[u/Star_Wyvern → u/brrraaaiiins]

Correct. Griffiths is a god damn saint. An Oracle. Jackson is the Devil and speaks in tongues.

[u/herohans99]

At least it isn't Halliday and Resnick, Vol. 2

[u/gsurfer04]

Fun fact - it's forbidden to criticise that artist on r/comics.

[u/banerds]

[u/Snoo-41360]

I got the Roger freedmen physics book for Christmas one year, best gift ever

[u/EconomicSeahorse → u/Snoo-41360]

No doubt you cried tears of joy

[u/Snoo-41360 → u/EconomicSeahorse]

Hell yeah best textbook I’ve ever read

[u/sam-lb]

I dunno man, I started reading Griffith's intro quantum a few weeks ago. Within the first few pages it made imprecise statements conflating probability vs probability density and claimed a blatant mathematical mistruth (acknowledged in a tiny footnote along the lines of "a competent mathematician will point out this is not true...". So why say it?) There's been a bunch more stuff like that too.

My background is pure math and I specifically chose Griffiths because I read online it was mathematically rigorous. Disappointed so far

[u/DatBoi_BP]

Same but fifth edition 😏
