    Ordinary Differential Equations by V Arnold

    In Munkres there are two parts, general & algebraic. So then as per your reply, there is no need to study algebraic topology. Am I correct?

    Ordinary Differential Equations by V Arnold

    "Ordinary Differential Equations" by V Arnold Hello, I recently bought "Ordinary Differential Equations" by V I Arnold to study differential equation. In that book he assumes we know basic topology. I want to know which subfield of topology should I know, in order to study this book...

    Rotation Matrix in 3D: Correcting Errors in 3D Coordinate System Rotation

    Hello Niles, I think it should give (0,0,√2) The point (1,0,1) lies on XZ plane. So its distance from origin is √ (1 + 1) = √2 As per the image you have attached. It makings an angle of 45° CCW with Z-axis. Now you are rotating the point CW 45°. i.e you are moving the point about...

    Rotation Matrix in 3D: Correcting Errors in 3D Coordinate System Rotation

    Hello Niles I don't know how you got (0, 0, 1/√2). I multiplied your rotation matrix with (1,0,1) & got the right answer, which is (√2, 0, 0) cos(-45) = 0.707 sin(-45) = -0.707

    Difference between theorems 2.12 & 214 of Baby Rudin

    Thanks everyone for replying. I will refer some other books & try to dig some more. In meantime I will try to put my question in other words. In Pg 26 he says "more loosely, we may say that elements of any countable set can be "arranged in a sequence"" So I am assuming that, if anything...

    Difference between theorems 2.12 & 214 of Baby Rudin

    Thanks for the reply DonAntonio. You say So,since th. 2.14 is true for 1's & 0's, it has to be true for any natural/rational numbers. And set of all sequences is Union. If th 2.12 says a countable union of countable sets is countable. so can i say that th 2.14 states union of all...

    Difference between theorems 2.12 & 214 of Baby Rudin

    Please help me in understanding the difference between theorems 2.12 & 2.14 of Rudin's Principles of Mathematical Analysis. Both are sets of sequences. Set S in Th.2.12 is union of countable sequences While set A in Th 2.14 is set of "all" sequences. Is set A uncountable only because it has...

    A good book for basic Physics for a beginner

    Please have a look at the book "Dynamics for beginners" by John Bascombe Lock. This is a very old book(1890). It can be freely downloaded from the below link. http://www.archive.org/details/dynamicsforbegin00lockuoft Concepts are explained & developed very neatly.
