AI Thread Summary
Math 55 at Harvard is an advanced honors course encompassing complex analysis, algebra, and real analysis, contrasting with simpler math courses at other institutions. Users are seeking supplementary notes and problem sets for this challenging course, noting that some resources, including problem sets and exams, have been removed from faculty pages. However, links to course materials, including syllabi and reading schedules, are still available on specific faculty pages. A torrent of materials related to Math 55 is mentioned as being accessible online, indicating that while some resources may be missing, there are still avenues to find valuable study aids for independent learners interested in this rigorous math curriculum.

Can anyone give me links with supplementary notes and problem sets for math 55? Of course I'm no harvard student, I'm just a physics major with an interest in math. Thanks in advance! ^_^

What is math 55? At my undergraduate institution that was roughly algebra I. At harvard it is apparently honors complex analysis, algebra, real analysis.
 
I'm talking about the course given at harvard
 
Why would they take down the problem sets?
 
No idea... That guy's faculty page is hit or miss for old stuff. I have been using a lot of it for my independent study, but noticed some of it was taken down. You can still see the reading schedule, syllabus, etc. for the classes. The only thing that is taken down are the .pdf's of the homework/solutions and sometimes the exams. But the links I gave you should have all of the content... the webpage is just ugly :biggrin:.
 
The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
