im fine with proofs

currently i am a math major, still unsure whether pure or applied. i am also looking to double major in physics. which class would be more helpful to me: abstract algebra, or (upper division) ODE class? I have taken the lower division DE class already.

Is it a good book to learn analysis from? Or more of a reference (like some of the amazon reviews suggest)?

we did proofs in my multivariable calculus class, using williamson/trotter textbook. just finished with upper division linear algebra using friedberg/insel/spence. writing proofs isn't too much of a problem for me. is this https://www.amazon.com/dp/0521497566/?tag=pfamazon01-20 the book...

yeah that one. So it's at the level of big Rudin? basically I'm looking for a textbook to learn analysis from at the level of baby Rudin. But some people (micromass) hates the blue book for being too terse , and not giving intuition. I have the book, but I'm also looking for other options.

does anyone have any experience of using this book? How does this compare to standard analysis textbooks ie. Baby Rudin, Apostol, Bartle/Sherbert etc.?

is the benedict gross algebra video lectures good for self study (first exposure to algebra)?

i noted in my op that I have taken calculus 3 already, which includes lagrange multipliers, partial derivatives, and vector analysis (line/surface integral, green's and stokes's theorem). I checked my school library and they have the following books: fowles, taylor, morin, and symon. the...

How does fowles compare to, say marion and thornton, or taylor?

hi everyone. for the summer, I'm planning to go through the first book in the landau/lifgarbagez series, which is mechanics i believe. I am wondering about the prerequisites for being able to successfully understand the material (physics, math, etc.) my background: I took ap physics c...

what is covered in graduate linear algebra? I've taken the undergrad linear algebra sequence, which goes all the way to jordan canonical form. my school doesn't offer a graduate sequence, which made me wonder.

summer: none fall: algebra 1 analysis 1 physics: mechanics

what are the prerequisites for landau's mechanics textbook?

bump

is the rigorous one up to the level of landau?
