Something that you may want to consider is signing up for a university math class but only take that one class for the semester. Go to lecture and anything that you are confused on, write down in your notes and look up later. Paul's Online Notes, Kahn Academy are all great. PatrickJMT on YouTube...

I am no authority on the subject but I recently did a problem very similar to the one you're working on. And I believe the poster above me is correct in their assertion. In my problem, the applied load was [120], slip plane (111) and slip direction [110]. Something helpful (which I learned...

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of some quality materials science resources on the web? I am currently in an intro to materials science and engineering class and have been fascinated by the subject this semester. I was just wondering if there are any "go to"...

Thank you for your reply. This is completely intuitive and clear to me. I think my book may have introduced dP/dt so as to directly relate Conservation of Momentum to Newton's 2nd Law (the F = ma incarnation). I will post if I have any further questions but thank you again for clearing this up...

First post here. This question has two parts. (1) Connecting the dots between the Impulse-Momentum Theorem and the Law of Conservation of Momentum and (2) Book recommendations for a more theoretical treatment of classical mechanics? (1) Difficulty reconciling the Impulse-Momentum Theorem...
