3D Physics - Quantum Mechanics - Books

Deep Down Things: The Breathtaking Beauty of Particle Physics - If you dont want any equations then this is a good and readable introduction to quantum theory and related mathematics such as Lie groups, Gauge Theory, etc.

Quantum Mechanics Demystified - This is pitched at a higher level than 'popular science' books on the subject in that it assumes a knowledge of calculus and contains such equations throughout the book. Having said that, if you understand the principles of calculus, then this is a very approachable and readable book. Though be warned: the book contains a lot of typos and errors.

Lie Groups for Pedestrians.

Feynman lectures on Physics 3 volume set.

A different universe: reinventing physics.

Quantum Evolution

Problem Solving

If a problem is difficult, don't panic, try these ideas:

Find a similar problem. Can you apply to your own problem?
Simplify the issue by removing some variables or dimensions.
When one approach fails, try the opposite.
Dream: fantasies about a situation such as assuming that all restrictions have been removed.
Establish sub-goals: break the problem into a number of smaller ones.
List the assumptions you have made about solving the problem and challenge them.
Try working through the situation from the way things are to the way you want them to be.
Choose other words to describe the problem. An alternative definition can yield new possibilities.

Dark Basic Professional Edition - It is better to get this professional edition

This is a version of basic designed for building games, for example to rotate a cube you might do the following:
make object cube 1,100
for x=1 to 360
rotate object 1,x,x,0
next x

Can you help?

Please send me any improvements to here. I would appreciate ideas to make the pages more useful including error correction, ideas for new pages, improvements to wording. It helps if you quote the full URL of the page.
