Before this post gets marked as duplicate, I've checked book book recommendations among other posts but I don't think they really answer this fairly niche question.
I am looking to compile a list of books, online courses, or other resources, that assume an advanced level of mathematical comprehension (graduate level at least), and yet no more than a junior-senior highschool level physics understanding.
I've been working as a mathematician for several years, specifically in the information security industry, and I am interested in steering my career in the direction of computational physics, purely due to curiosity.
More specifically, I'm after something that is,
- More fast paced than a first year - university text book,
- Takes the student from topics of, for eg. the 17th century to the present,
- Assumes very little physics understanding,
- When presenting physics problems or exercies, emphasizes deriving computational models rather than analytic solutions to trivial questions,
- At the very least, presents a roadmap of what to learn (excluding mathematical prerequisites) above teaching it
Note 1: Apologies again if this can be marked as duplicate. However I can't find a suitable resource for a mathematician who is a beginner in physics. I've always found books progress either too slowly that I need to skim faster than I can comfortably skim a book without missing out on the good parts, or assume too much physics knowledge without redirecting to background reading.
Note 2: If this is indeed not a duplicate, I will be sure to add it in to the book recommendations thread.
If you can spare a moment or two to point me in the right direction, I hope I will be able to repay this forum with more constructive questions and answers in the future if I can reach the same level as you.
