Which Universities Use Apostol's Mathematical Analysis Text?

AI Thread Summary
Tom M. Apostol's textbooks on Mathematical Analysis and Calculus are utilized by various universities and instructors globally, with notable mentions including IISC Bangalore in India, MIT, and Caltech. While Apostol's Mathematical Analysis is less commonly adopted than Rudin's Principles of Mathematical Analysis for undergraduate courses—primarily due to Rudin's more concise format—Apostol's works still have a significant presence in higher education. Online resources, including video lectures related to Apostol's texts, can be found through platforms like MIT OpenCourseWare, which offers materials for courses 18.014 and 18.024 covering both volumes of Calculus. Additional lecture resources based on Apostol's analysis are available on YouTube and through academic websites such as the University of Nottingham. However, there is a noted lack of online learning materials directly from institutions using Apostol's texts, particularly in India.

Which universities or instructors---anywhere in the world and particularly in the USA, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand, or India---use or have used Tom M. Apostol's landmark textbook on Mathematical Analysis? Are there any video lectures from a course based on the text available on the Internet? Any other kind of support for the text?

Last but not least, I would like to have the same information on Apostol's two-volume calculus text.

IISC Bangalore in India uses Apostol's text, but no online learning material is available from them.
you can try Khanacademy or MIT OCW to solve the problems.
 
MIT and Caltech use Apostol's Calculus. MIT OCW has pages for 18.014 and 18.024, which cover Calculus, Volume 1 and Calculus, Volume 2.

I think that most school use Rudin's Principles of Mathematical Analysis instead of Apostol's Mathematical Analysis for undergraduate analysis courses. I believe they choose Rudin because it's more compact than Apostol - Apostol's book even copies some sections from his Calculus texts.
 
Almost sure the video lectures associated with http://unow.nottingham.ac.uk/resources/resource.aspx?hid=c6c045f6-286d-6b9f-b96c-36a998632fc3 webpage are based off of Apostol's analysis, which are also on youtube (think that's them).

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...
