Hello everyone, I'm currently doing some research about feedback systems in engineering and right now I'm playing around with special types of feedback matrices. In the process, I stumbled upon a potentially interesting polynomial, which is actually the characteristic polynomial of the system...

Hello everyone, My question for this thread concerns the application of (mainly) mathematical analysis to fields such as signal processing and machine learning. More specifically, I was wondering if you happen to know of some interesting application of things like measure theory or functional...

My father and his brother are real Dylan freaks so I've been indoctrinated with his music from an early age. He is one of the reasons I learned how to play the guitar and to sing :) He ages like a good wine, too; his raspy voice from his later albums such as "Time Out of Mind" and "Modern Times"...

Thank you, sir!

Thanks mathwonk! What about chapter 8 on least upper bounds? Does anyone have any recommendation on problems that are important to tackle?

Thanks a lot for recommending problems Micromass, I recently started studying from this book and have so far worked through all of your recommended problems (plus some more of the interesting problems in the book of course!) in the first three chapters. I'm now working through the problem set...

Thank's for sharing your experiences, it has massive value for us who are struggling with self studies in math!

Yes, it comes in 2 volumes, I have the 3rd edition at a local library.

If you want something complementary to the textbook you're using you can always try to find video lectures of the subject you're studying, online. MIT OCW has some nice lecture series on linear algebra and calculus, I think. However, they seem to follow the "required" textbook for the course...

Great suggestion! Thank you!

Thanks for the answer and the book suggestion. So Thomas' book doesn't contain both single variable and multivariable calculus in the earlier editions (it seems to do in later editions)? Do you perhaps have the table of contents for the 3rd edition (can't seem to find it)?

Hi guys, I have a question about the book "Calculus: An Intuitive and Physical Approach" by Morris Kline. I was wondering if it includes a sufficient coverage of multivariable calculus as well as single variable? I am about to take a course in calculus of several variables and I am a bit...

Gelfand's Algebra book is awesome, I learned tremendous amounts of mathematics doing the problems. However, the problems can be very hard (at least for me) and if you haven't done math for a long time, it's probably going to be a tough start. I would recommend a slightly "softer" book like...

Tyler, when I did high school math I learned a lot of stuff outside the curriculum by self studying. I used textbooks that other more experienced learner of mathematics (even mathematicians) recommended to others, and I worked them through page by page (mostly). If you want som good advice on...

Cool, and thanks for your kind words epenguin. :smile: And thank you so much for your help, Dick and epenguin, I am grateful to you for you took the time and effort to help me with this!
