The International System of Units, internationally known by the abbreviation SI (from French Système international d'unités), is the modern form of the metric system and the world's most widely used system of measurement. It is the only system of measurement with official status in nearly every country in the world, employed in science ...
This is a list of notable textbooks on classical mechanics and quantum mechanics arranged according to level and surnames of the authors in alphabetical order. Undergraduate [ edit ]
The American Physical Society and the American Association of Physics Teachers recommend a full year of graduate study in electromagnetism for all physics graduate students. [4] A joint task force by those organizations in 2006 found that in 76 of the 80 US physics departments surveyed, a course using John Jackson 's Classical Electrodynamics ...
This book uses SI units (the mks convention) exclusively. A table for converting between SI and Gaussian units is given in Appendix C. [4] Griffiths said he was able to reduce the price of his textbook on quantum mechanics simply by changing the publisher, from Pearson to Cambridge University Press. [2] He has done the same with this one.

According to a 1998 review of the second edition, [6] the first edition "has not aged" and was "the best introductory textbook I have seen". The reviewer points out that the Berkeley Physics Series limitations and the book's dearth of references to wave phenomena are its two biggest issues. The review states that the "results are spectacular ...
The Berkeley course was contemporary with The Feynman Lectures on Physics (a college course at a similar mathematical level), and PSSC Physics (a high school introductory course). These physics courses were all developed in the atmosphere of urgency about science education created in the West by Sputnik.
