|content=@Pennywi25761697 For Classical Mechanics, from a math perspective I liked Arnold’s book.

Physicists all seem to use Jackson for E&amp;M. But I would learn the bundle theoretic version where Maxwell becomes a single equation. GR I found [[Shlomo Sternberg|Shlomo Sternberg’s]] papers and Books very helpful. Or Wald.

|content=Wow. One of my favorite people. Gone.

So many [[Shlomo Sternberg|Shlomo]] stories. What a staggering giant to lose at the end of a long and wonderful life. Just learned of his death on Friday.

A great mathematical physicist. An even rarer human being.

|content=One of my masters has left this world. [[Shlomo Sternberg]] was a professor of mathematics at Harvard. Retired, he lived in old Jerusalem. Descended from a generation of rabbis, he had completed his PhD at 19 years old at the same time as his title of rabbi. An exceptional scientist.

|content=@martinmbauer I learned so much from him and he changed the course of my life a few times. 

He used to sleep in his office and we would talk well past midnight. The most romantic way one could learn.

A true scholar in the old European/Jewish sense who happened to do mathematics and physics.
