    What Are the Best Advanced Mechanics Textbooks for Self-Study?

    thanks mmwave. that was the other book that looked good. the only thing was that quite a few reviewers on amazon.com complained of cryptic and/or faulty end of chapter exercises,which worried me for self study...how would you rate the end of chapter exercises (difficult problems are okay, but...

    What Are the Best Advanced Mechanics Textbooks for Self-Study?

    hi. i have worked through the mechanics and waves/optics portions of halliday/resnick/walker "fundamentals of physics" 6/e (an introductory physics text), and i want to continue on self-studying mechanics. could you suggest a formal mechanics text (or maybe it would be called a classical...

    Is Geometric Algebra the Same as Algebraic Geometry?

    I have been looking around the net and from what i can tell geometric algebra is a useful tool in some branches of physics, and is becoming more and more important as time goes by. I have also heard the term algebraic geometry used in connection with advanced undergraduate geometry courses. is...

    Advice on Advanced Calculus Textbooks for Independent Study

    Yeah, I have looked at Apostol for the calc, and it seems pretty good from what i can tell through the net. i think i am going to do linear algebra with anton's elementary linear alg., and then do the calculus with taylor's advanced calculus, and then maybe link the math with a physics geared...

    Advice on Advanced Calculus Textbooks for Independent Study

    yeah i kind of agree. it seems like the text should address multivariable calculus, vector differential/integral calculus, multiple integrals, sequences and series primarily.

    Advice on Advanced Calculus Textbooks for Independent Study

    Hello I want to buy a somewhat advanced calculus textbook to independently study from. The text doesn't need to be too pure and rigorous, but it should be more so than an engineering math text would be because I want to eventually get into theoretical physics, and I don't want to find out...
