Having completed a graduate level Physics education, I can attest that the selection of topics is solid.
(Can't comment on the books, I learned in a different language where other books tend to be used).
- Tomte 8y agoAssuming it's German, would you like to list some of your favorites? I've noticed that I mostly read English textbooks on all kinds of subjects, because it's easier to get recommendations on HN or sites like chicmath.
- perlgeek 8y agoOh, it's been a long time :-), but I'll try to dig through my memory. I think I liked the Gerthsen, our Profs also recommended Demtröder, which was OK, but somehow I never liked it as much. In theoretical physics, Nolting and Fließbach were good -- though I cannot remember which topic I learned from where. I did my Diplomarbeit on spin transport in mesoscopic systems, and really liked "Electronic Transport in Mesoscopic Systems" by Datta, which at the time seemed to be the only accessible and clear writing on the subject. Disclaimer: I tended to go to the lectures very regularly, and mostly learned from there, so the books very mostly supplemental material for me.
