Well, it is almost a year since I first posted this, I have come a long a bit. I taught myself calculus from the Serge Lang book and now know it to the point of definite integrals and and indefinite integrals. Knowing basic calculus really helps on a universal level, not just being able to...

Einstein had a theory about space, and it was about time too.

I managed to snap up a copy of Serge Lang's 'A first course in Calculus' for £1.14 plus £2.80 postage for an ex-library copy on amazon!

Okay, so a introductory book on linear algebra and on calculus is in the pipeline. Try and 'master' linear algebra and basic math. After that, try getting a good introductory text on QM and the M boas book on mathematics in physics. This sound alright to you guys. Oh and seriously, I can't be...

Will these books as well as M boas require a prerequisite knowledge of calculus and linear algebra to understand? EDIT: I just had a look at 'A First Course in Calculus' - Serge Lang on amazon, it looks like it needs no prerequisite. Thanks for the further suggestions!

Wow, I could not have asked for more, thanks for all the help on this! Now I have an idea about how I am going to tackle the quantum world, the mathematics I need for the task and what texts to look into and not look into. And also learning classical mechanics as a prerequisite. My plan of...

I was wrong :rolleyes:

I was wondering about that, as I have only heard good things about Griffiths.

This is what I was looking for, you have made my day. I will get on with ordering that maths book!

I have not started maths A-level yet, that will be at the end of 2013 when I start it as I am in year 10 now. In year 11 I am doing a AQA FSMQ, which is mean't to be a bridge to A level maths.

Here is my eurorack modular synth, it is starting to overflow somewhat.

In terms of clothes, the only company I like, even if a bit pricey is RRL as you can get some good reductions on them if you look around. NSD powerball is another company that I like for exercise. I don't really have many companies I like, just ones I tolerate for things.

I suppose though if I do learn these sort of things now, it *should* make things easier later on, or it will just cause me to fail my GCSEs and A-levels :biggrin:

I suppose this does beg the question, at my level is it possible to teach myself QM beyond popular interpretations?

What sort of signal processor? Envelope follower, pre-amp, effect, audio-CV?
