I think it's more beneficial to take the following approach - "problem, problem, and problem", then introduce to proofs/logic, and then finally revisit using proofs/logic. start from top one at a time - 1) Calculus: Early Transcendentals <- pretty good when it comes to problem solving 2)...

idk if some of you remember Recommend a book on Python Programming thread i created a while back. As some of you suggested, i bought Lutz's book. I've looked into (or at least skimmed through) most of the book...i really liked it. I'm currently working on GUI Tkinter, it seems interesting...

Discrete Mathematics with Applications is used in 200 lvl here courses. Heard it's pretty decent book.

I actually looked into Bekefi and Barrett since it is/was one of the recommended book @MIT for this course. However, one of the reviewers (at amazon i believe) mentioned that it didn't have many worked out problems. I would look for a general intro Waves & Vibration textbook and solution...

bump...anyone? :(

you mean this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/047001296X/?tag=pfamazon01-20 reviews say it has "almost no examples"...and is rated 1/5 (8 reviewers)...which seems pretty bad. i'm looking into Schaum...thnx for the recommendation. any more would be appreciated.

Hi, This is second week of our class, despite understanding what is being taught or being assigned to read, I'm having troubles with homework...it's taking too long. Our professor gives out challenging problems (or so the other classmates say), however i think i could work them out...

unfortunately, i have not done a course on complex analysis yet.

What exactly does this "Advanced Calculus" course contain? out university offers a course of same title and it is a continuation of Calculus III (multivariable). AC course contains stuff like Div, Grid, Curl and more throughout detail of topics taught in multivariable Calculus. Here, this...

I'm not going to buy Haberman until few months before i take the course. Who knows they might just change the text for the course or a newer edition of the book might come out. This book is expensive afterall. I'll skip over Strauss as it does not seem to be suitable for self-study. I've heard...

I want to self-study partial differential equations. i have done some pure math course but I wish to keep proofs to minimal. If possible I don't want to be bothered with PDE proofs in my self study. Instead, I want to learn how to apply and solve PDEs. the ultimate goal is to prepare myself my...

yeah that happens a buncha time. anyone else with similar experience?

has luck been a factor in your exam? How does it compare in pure math exams to applied math exams? I personally feel that in applied math I'm able to do w/e i have practiced, luck isn't that important. But in pure math i need a luck factor as well, along with a good practice. I feel like have...

One of my classmate in my freshman/sophmore physics/math course was a 60 (or close) year old. He had studied business (or perhaps arts) back in 70s and came back to the same university as a math major. In those physics/math courses, he was older than all professors (ranging from 30 - 50 i would...

you could if you want to, but just so you know you won't find any better.
