Mike Helland Reading List

Read this book and it'll give a good introduction to Theoretical
Physics and it doesn't cost that much:

Joos, Georg, and Ira Maximilian Freeman. 1986. Theoretical physics.
3rd ed. New York: Dover Publications.

Then as a gauge of how good your mathematical understanding is read
this:

Petrovskii, I. G., and Abe Shenitzer. 1991. Lectures on partial
differential equations. New York: Dover Publications, Inc.

This is a graduate level PDE book


Then just for some nice bed time reading when you have nothing to do,
oh wait you have nothing to do 24hr's a day so the time that your not
reading the book on theorectical physics you can read:

Fain, Gordon L. 1999. Molecular and cellular physiology of neurons.
Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press.

Since you like to speak about neuroscience issues that you don't know
about you may as well start reading... once you finish that I have a
library of more then 250 books and some 30+ file boxes of scientific
papers, journal articles, thesis's (masters, and Phd) on topics
covering math, physics, AI, computers.... and defense sciences....

So get started it took me 6 years, with school and work to read
roughly 70% of that material and read portions of all of it, and I
read around 1000 words a minute...

Cheers
