(Morse and) Feshbach Publishing
Hi all, Because there are science/engineering folks here: Feshbach Publishing has reduced their price for the well-known set of books "Methods of Theoretical Physics" from $329 to $249 for complete the two-volume set. If you're familiar with these books and their prices, you'll know that this is a good deal. http://www.feshbachpublishing.com/ The set offered by Feshbach Publishing is a relatively recent reprint, very nicely done, by the late Mark Feshbach, son of one of the authors, Herman Feshbach. I myself have wanted a set for many years, so gladly picked one up when I heard about this price reduction. I have no affiliation with Feshbach Publishing, but am a big fan of the subject, having taken several formal courses (not just physics but specifically "mathematical physics" including standard Arfken-based ones). It's still the best single reference IMO: the clearest, most comprehensive, and most "fun" to read. Regards, Dave Clark PS: If you do order a set, please say in the comments something like: "Hi Andrea --- DaveClark sent me here. (He asked me to say that.) Smiley face, Smiley face, Smiley face...." I have already sent a couple of my friends/colleagues there who ordered sets, so she'll get a kick out of it. Thanks! .

NOW, if they had dropped the price of Practical Applications of Quantum Mechanics , I would be all over that.

Well, you can either know the price or whether the book is in stock, but not both...

Well, I was thinking more that it resembles a one-sided nonorientable surface or to put it simply A Möbius strip of half-width  with midcircle of radius  and at height  can be represented parametrically by    (1)    (2)    (3) for  and  . In this parametrization, the Möbius strip is therefore a cubic surface with equation
