- antegamisou 3y agoHalliday & Resnick Fundamentals of Physics is what we used in AP as well as in freshman year at college. Covers most sections one needs to be familiar with to be physics literate (solid/fluid mechanics, waves, thermo, electromagnetism, optics, relativity).
- sizzzzlerz 3y agoIs that still in print? That was the physics book we used my freshman year, in 1974. It was a great book. I’m still sorry I sold it.
- pjacotg 3y agoThat was my first year text book in 1998. Sounds like it's still going strong!
- gandalfgreybeer 3y agoStill used in as an undergraduate in 2013
- selimthegrim 3y agoJearl Walker (of Cleveland State and PBS’s Kinetic Carnival) was added as an author.
- tnecniv 3y agoI don’t know much about continuum mechanics (unless you count stat mech but I wouldn’t), however Goldstein has a few chapters on the topic that might serve as an introduction
- wanderingmind 3y agoThe best book I came across is this https://www.amazon.com/Continuum-Mechanics-Foundations-Applications/dp/184265442X https://www.amazon.com/Continuum-Mechanics-Foundations-Appli... It has a slightly solid mechanics bent, but the fundamentals are the same for fluids and solids (conservation laws, tensor formulation)
- kxyvr 3y agoFor the mathematically inclined, the best I've seen is An Introduction to Continuum Mechanics by Morton Gurtin from 1981. At one point, it could be purchased from Google books directly as a pdf.
