Being graduate student in low-temperature experimental physics, we tend to lose interest in reading. We think there are two reasons for that.
Lack of time as you are involved in a lot of experiment because of the pressure of publishing (not kidding, that is the driving reason)
Boring physics textbook, although conventional textbooks are excellent (We do not want to name here, but you might have a good feeling about what we are trying to say). But they are somehow boring for me (or in simple words, we do not understand). We think it should be good enough that you should not feel it is a burden. It should be like wow (literally).
We cannot do anything about the first reason, and one can talk about it for hours, but we can do something about the second one.
The reason for coming up with these kinds of books is that it made us felt that "Do we belong here". We belong here because we came here after learning everything (Bachelor and Master course). We believe that if you can do integration, differentiation, summation and multiplication, you should be able to learn everything.
We are listing a few books that we think is a good starting point for physics students starting from basic level to advanced level. We want to make ourself clear that it is our opinion only and amendments can be suggested.
I would like to thank Somya Datta for taking the initiative, infact it was his idea to come up with this.
