AI Thread Summary
Helpful resources for Calculus 1, 2, and 3 include MIT's OpenCourseWare and Khan Academy, with additional recommendations for Paul's Online Math Notes and PatrickJMT for video explanations. Users suggest exploring iTunes U for university lecture series and understandingcalculus.com for further materials. While some find Spivak's writing challenging, many appreciate the clarity of other educators. Engaging with multiple resources can enhance understanding and fill gaps in learning.

I'm looking for a good set of lecture style calculus 1,2,3 videos, books, online essays. I know about ocw.mit and the khanacademy, but I am curious what other institutions offer this type of resource. I really like what MIT is doing, but there are certain key points where I feel another explanation would benefit me.

I am mostly done with Calculus 6th ed. (stewart), and I own Calculus (Spivak) but I have a hard time understanding the way that guy writes! I am only a calculus II student, but I have been trying to work ahead in my spare time to make sure I get a good understanding.

Thanks!

You can't go wrong with Paul's Online Math Notes. He has notes from College Algebra to Differential Equations and some very useful cheat sheets.

As for video lectures, I suggest searching iTunes U for lectures from different Universities.

patrick jmt (google it, I could not put the link)

Check his website out. This guy has a GIFT for explaining math concepts easily and smoothly. I tried to post his as a new topic but I do not have permission for it.

@ Administrators : please check his videos and if you deem i worthy, post it as a new thread for these videos can help a lot of people. I has been helping a ton.

Hope this is useful.

Peace. :-)
 

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'

I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
