Oh wow! This looks like the physics book that I always wanted to read.
Phd 2016 in condensed matter physics - now working in a mid-size (~600 people) software company as a data scientist.
Ex-PhD student in general relativity here, also slowly going thru that book. If anyone wants to start a reading (slack?) group together, I’d be interested. I have no one to talk to about this stuff IRL.
