Thus, the structure of this book list will be centered around core topics in theoretical physics which are already given direct connection to technology and reality, and the mathematics that follows from the theory rather than simply chasing popular formalisms. Future additions and pages will make an effort to connect with more project-based and experimental content, as our goal of demonstrating computational aspects (PDEs, Representation Theory, Numerical Analysis) have been fully satisfied and the supplementary material nearly completed. This pertains to our last criterion that there should be some elementary aspects in a text - showing the translation of the abstract machinery into basic computations to make the relationships with other areas even more transparent | Thus, the structure of this book list will be centered around core topics in theoretical physics which are already given direct connection to technology and reality, and the mathematics that follows from the theory rather than simply chasing popular formalisms.

Calculus is not in the pictured starter pack because it is found more often in high school curricula, while linear algebra (''despite being core to "applied mathematics" topics such as engineering, numerical computing, and statistics'') is often missing at the required level of rigor. Thus, we suggest looking at any '''Basic Mathematics''' to quickly fill in your gaps and as a source of quick and dirty computational techniques used universally. | Calculus is not in the pictured starter pack because it is found more often in high school curricula, while linear algebra (''despite being core to "applied mathematics" topics such as engineering, numerical computing, and statistics'') is often missing at the required level of rigor.

The | The texts by '''Landau''' are the list's core. While on that track, you should start dipping into the texts listed under the Landau volumes to enhance your perspective on repeated readings | ||
The '''General Mathematics''' section covers the knowledge that would be acquired in standard (but basic) graduate courses on the different areas of mathematics that later develop into modern topics, and should be developed alongside Landau. | The '''General Mathematics''' section covers the knowledge that would be acquired in standard (but basic) graduate courses on the different areas of mathematics that later develop into modern topics, and should be developed alongside Landau. | ||
