I was an international relations major and while I didn't pick up a double major in any language we were required to take at least two years of a language and study abroad. I did a year of Japanese, tested into second year Spanish and finished that up, and then studied abroad in Korea where I powered through a year's worth of Korean in one semester. I love learning languages. It's ridiculously fun and I'm just fascinated by them.

Funny enough, though, the language I most want to learn now is American Sign Language. I am hearing impaired. I have been since I was little but it's gotten worse as I've gotten older and now for some reason I have psychosomatic hearing loss in my one good ear so. That sucks. I've had to accept that I need more help since starting law school. I had note takers in some classes. I'm looking into self training a hearing dog for the home so I don't accidentally burn the house down or not hear someone breaking in when I'm living on my own. In coming to this whole acceptance I've realized I should probably learn ASL now while I still have like 65% hearing just in case the rest of it decides to go. I figured these flash cards would be useful in that endeavour. My university assigns them as required materials to their undergrad ASL classes.

I also added this Spanish for legal professionals book because I'm taking the Texas bar exam at the end of the month and I intend to be a prosecutor in the future. I know some Spanish and with some studying I can probably get pretty good at it again. But I know absolutely zero legal terms in Spanish. So this book would be hella useful in my professional life.

So I leave it to you to decide which to gift if you pick me. I like surprises. :D

I can totally relate to the desire of not wanting to deal with environmental sounds and wanting to communicate silently and naturally...with our bodies.

I just started learning ASL as well after one false start a few years back.

For starters if you're not attending a school or class, I would start with www.lifeprint.com Secondly, on advice from a friend who's an interpreter, I do things like finger spell street signs as I'm driving. These flash cards are also really great and come in a nice quality box with a key ring you can switch out cards from depending on what you're studying: https://www.amazon.com/Barrons-Flash-Cards-American-Language/dp/0764162225/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1473871285&sr=8-1&keywords=asl+flash+cards

Lastly, video over internet is a great option, i.e. Skype. I regularly send video 'texts' to my friend through an app called Glide, especially for quick questions.

For Statistical physics I would second the recommendation of Pathria. Huang is also good.

For electromagnetism the standard is Jackson. I think it is pedagogically terrible, but I was able to slowly make my way through it. I don't know of a better alternative, and once you get the hang of it the book is a great reference. The problems in this book border from insane to impossible.

So that's the basics. It's up to you where to go from there. If you do decide to learn QFT or GR, my recommendations are Itzykson and Carroll respectively.

Good luck to you!

There are incompetent physicists, and there are incompetents who call themselves physicists. This response which says "experimental data is not to be debated" is representative of a field not just in crisis but about to experience an extinction event due to the truth of classical physics. If you want to really understand the depth of the problem in modern physics -- the fracture of reality and experiment - lots of math, little reason - read this essay.

Loud public pronouncements that show you don't understand something GUISED as a debate is DAMAGING. These posts are best to be ignored but I have encountered physicists who do google searches and come across people like "CSurveyGuy. " They actually seize his lampoon logic as justification that the hydrino is not worth a look.

There are all levels of people in every field - medical school grads, practiced family doctors, and neurosurgeons - a "doctor" is meaningless as to whether you can be taken seriously. Saying "I'm a physicist" is meaningless. Let's help clarify the prereqs to Mills.

- You need Jackson textbook level E&M to tackle Mills. This is graduate level E&M and many quantum physicists aren't up to speed on it. Since the electron is electromagnetic you need advanced E&M. If you don't have it, go back to school.

- You need strong intuitive capacity. Surprise, surprise, most physicists can't "see" new architectures very well. Brett Holverstott has done a masterful job read hi book for a start. Remember, special relativity was first published in 1905 (interestingly the year the Wright brothers first flew continously and only 10 years early Lord Kelvin physicist of the day said "flight of heavier than air objects is impossible."). Einstein's work was not "seen" nor accepted by ACTUAL elite physicists (not CSurveyGuys heckling in the town square). Proof? In 1931, "100 Authors Against Einstein" is published ( https://archive.org/details/HundertAutorenGegenEinstein ).

- You need to work very hard. Mills flat out has the most powerful intuition we've probably seen for nature in a long time. He "sees" things as obvious that aren't because he imagines nature. He designed the electron architecture - literally imagined reality - and then proved it works - the electron has spin etc. The electron solution is probably the Taj Mahal of science, if you will.

​

Many physicists are plug and chug quantum physicists who use the theory to crank out some marginal results. They don't have any vested in the truth, and may believe we cannot even find the truth about physical reality (it's unknowable to them - the uncertainty principle).

"CSurveyGuy" (and the bucket of similar internet dwellers) may want to actually solve something using this new theory - rather than flailing in public his lack of understanding. Statements like "big, horrible problems, like violating known rules of math" means this person is likely a time-waster. Reddit is not the place to do science.

If anyone is interested in an actual real debate on the theory - read "Reconsidering the validation of multi-electron standard quantitative quantum mechanics" by Dr, Jonathan Phillips (he is on the Navy's Energy Academic Group and his resume speaks for itself). Which is an all out attack on quantum mechanics that it isn't even a valid theory, as it is a jumble of theories none of which validate against experimental data. You can't read the abstract, you have to actually read the details. In that paper, near the end he says that CQM (Classical QM- i.e. Mills theory) DOES appear to be a valid theory since it matches energy levels of electrons and distinguishes them, and matches the experimental data that is the focus of the paper.

Addressing a smattering of other points

- Dr. Randy Booker was chair of UNC's physics department. The UNC chemist there Dr. Rick Maas said the "experimental data is so convincing it is time to stop the bickering about the theory". See the BBC Focus Article "Water Power" from 2005.

- 3 body problems go away because of the architecture of the atomic electrons

- Rathke was fully discredited by Mills who showed Rathke made mathematical errors that nullified all arguments. Since it has been 14 years since this all occurred the case is closed. Rathke was an ant who got crushed by a giant. The almost comedic part of this is that even Nobel laureates - who I have contacted - said they "haven't had time to look into the experimental evidence." A total revolution in science, but "my dog at the homework" type responses.

Since these back and forths won't end. It is best to disengage from internet "physicists" unless they talk about facts, not histrionic claims guised as "debate". I am sure if you took a Family Physician from the 1800s and brought him here today to talk about cloning sheep - he would flatly deny it is possible, and would rail against the theory, and would be an emotional mess because the world has changed. Physics was ripe for disruption - everyone admits that - and now we all play catchup.

u/rplacd · 3 pointsr/VXJunkies

Here's a good primer to the physics of the neural nets you'll be encountering in the wiring as well; required if you're going to be doing some logic-level debugging (which is pretty much all the time if you want to go beyond the usual Swedish teutonic - which is why you're here, right?)

u/fluxquanta · 1 pointr/PipeTobacco

I think it's that E&M is just a more difficult/less interesting subject. If you plan on going to grad school for physics you will almost certainly use this. You'll love Griffiths after dealing with Jackson, as Griffiths acts as a sort of Rosetta stone between English and bizarre Greens Function hieroglyphs.

u/takiotoshi · 2 pointsr/askscience

Can you get through a paywall?

Here is a tutorial on optical antennas. Pretty nice, if I do say so myself ;)

Jackson's electrodynamics has a chapter on the dielectric response of metals. Chapter 7, section 5. "Frequency dispersion characteristics of dielectrics, conductors, and plasmas."

Novotny's nano optics book has a brief review of dielectric response, and talks a lot about the antenna analogy.

u/snoogans235 · 2 pointsr/Physics

For practice with your problems, Schaums' guide are the best. If you feel like a badass

u/[deleted] · 4 pointsr/AskReddit

Oppenheimer didn't believe it would happen. He had several strong theoretical reasons to indicate it should happen, so he went looking for evidence to prove it. Belief is acceptance without proof, something a scientist cannot professionally do. Faith is a religious thing, has no place in science.

That's why the quote from the post is from the Bible, and not Jackson's Classical Electrodynamics

u/LazinCajun · 4 pointsr/AskScienceDiscussion

This doesn't answer your question, but for some classes, there are very standard texts. It's anecdotal, but every single recent physics graduate student I've met used Jackson for electricity and magnetism (http://www.amazon.com/Classical-Electrodynamics-Third-Edition-Jackson/dp/047130932X). There are other texts out there I'm sure, but Jackson is by far the most common.

u/InfinityFlat · 1 pointr/Physics

Probably some combination of Griffiths, Jackson, and Zangwill

u/f4hy · 2 pointsr/pics

I was going to do something similar but the second picture was going to be this

u/tpk5010 · 2 pointsr/geek

Third edition?

At least, that's what google says.

u/xrelaht · 1 pointr/AskPhysics

A class using Jackson E&M for classical electrodynamics is a standard first year grad course. Quantum electrodynamics is part of field theory, and that's usually the next level up. Most people who aren't either particle physicists or theorists don't take it though (which is a shame).

u/blueboybob · 1 pointr/HomeworkHelp

halliday and resnick for general physics

1 - goldstein

2 - griffith

3 -

4 - griffith or jackson

u/sleepingsquirrel · 1 pointr/ECE

I did find the following book: Foundations of Applied Superconductivity , which I'm going to try to get a hold of. I wonder what other "applied superconductivity" resources have been compiled in the intervening 25 years since that was published.

u/Spaser · 2 pointsr/ECE

Surprised no one has mentioned Classical Electrodynamics by Jackson.

u/meltingdiamond · 4 pointsr/funny

Answer key:
(a) 8/3, assuming no momentum loss to the air.
(b) 64/9, treating the stings as massless ridged rods.

This is nowhere near as bad as physics problems get. You want to see tough look at this book.

u/JohnProof · 1 pointr/electricians

What a fucking scam.

Don't get me wrong, I've got a decent library, and I'll never knock the value of a good reference. But for schools to sell these books to greenies at price enough that ~30 books costs $1200 is totally ridiculous and bordering unethical.

  • A used copy of the 2011 NEC can be gotten for ~$40 on eBay or less than $70 new.

  • Transformer Princpals and Applications? $9.

  • Electrical Systems for the 2011 NEC? $13

  • Electrical Safety Related Work Practices? $9.

  • Many IAEI meetings give away copies of the UL White Book for free, and you can find it in PDF for the few times you'll need it.

    You wanna learn to bend conduit? Buy an Ugly's book and a bundle of pipe, or just download a $2 app for your phone.

    And there's simply no reason in the world for a 2nd year apprentice to require whatever the hell is in an entire textbook about blueprint reading. Basic print reading ain't anywhere near that involved.

    This just strikes me as a way to separate the naive from their money under the guise of giving them an "education." What a crock.
