Since you plan on taking AP Physics C, which is a calculus-based physics course, I recommend you look at Giancoli, Tipler, or Young. I own a few copies, although I always refer back to Young's University Physics (any edition is fine, such as...

Anyone know what the actual textbook for Tao's Analysis I and II was? The UCLA web page isn't available anymore, that is, the syllabus for example.

Here are a few resources you should definitely consider studying from. However, having multiple sources is probably better anyway. http://math.hws.edu/javanotes/ http://people.cs.vt.edu/shaffer/Book/ http://introcs.cs.princeton.edu/java/home/

I am still using https://www.amazon.com/dp/1285852753/?tag=pfamazon01-20 by D. S. Malik and I can't complain. The examples and exercises are straightforward and also include various calculations.

Wealthy and company jobs don't belong in the same paragraph. If you want to become a millionaire, then surely it's not a pony ride through any degree program (only). There is, obviously, more to it. Starting a company sounds easy. Register your name, either a publicly traded or LLC (if I'm...

Hello. I'm currently looking for a textbook which emphasizes microeconomic theory on a more advanced level compared to the mass-marketed books, (e.g. Mankiw, McConell, ...) and a textbook that contains more game theory. Does anyone have suggestions?

Is vector calculus covered as a review in this book? Or is it presented as if the reader has never been exposed to these topics? And in regards to the Dover Book, are there any differences or apparent writing style differences? More or less examples, etc.?

First of all, if you want to learn, develop your own problem. As an example: Objective: Create a text-based calculator. What you need: Variables, functions, objects (Scanner) What you need to learn: Variables, functions, objects How to learn it: Textbook, online Oracle tutorials (reliable...

I think you're not aware of the fact that doctors rely heavily on computer scientists, not to mention biology, algorithms in genes and much more. Bioinformatics, if that's a subject incorporating software and hardware (devices) for doctors, hospitals, etc., then I think you should consider it...

In the most basic example, u corresponds to some expression while du corresponds to the derivative of that expression. The main idea is to look for this pattern and eventually integrate. Example: 1. \int 2x \sqrt{x^2+4} \: dx Let u = x^2+4, then du = 2x \: dx, thus you have the form...

You don't need a degree if you're passionate about a particular subject. I like economics and subfields such as game theory and sometimes I even end up reading a philosophical piece by Kant. However, while these subjects are very interesting, getting a job with a philosophy and CS degree won't...

The examples with Laplace transforms or Fourier Series all include something students should have done in the previous exercises. If you mean whether these problems should introduce them to a new topic, then I agree that this is a horrible way to do so. But it certainly gives you some kind of...

I've been using Ron Larson's 10th edition Calculus textbook, which came out last year. I can't stress how much I liked the book, but here are a few reasons why: 1. The textbook is very easy to read, even if you need "all steps" written down. 2. The 10th edition (not single or multivariable...

Are parametric equations and conics ever used? I remember that we have never covered that in single-variable and went to introduction of several variables due to lack of time.

I believe you're overthinking it. In addition, the degree will only get you an interview, not the job. You need to do your work on becoming more experienced by interning, doing some related work, building your portfolio, collaborate on projects (teamwork) and be a respectful student with good...
