How Can I Deepen My Understanding of Infinite Series and Sequences?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the interest in infinite series and sequences following a calculus class. Participants emphasize the importance of analysis for a deeper understanding of these concepts, noting that analysis is proof-based and can be challenging. A recommended starting point is "Calculus" by Spivak, which serves as an introduction to analysis but requires familiarity with proofs. After grasping the fundamentals of analysis, exploring topics like Fourier series is suggested for further learning.

Hello.

Having already learned about infinite series and sequences in my calculus class, I'm quite interested in them and especially in learning more about them. If any of you have in mind any good books on the subject which you can recommend to me, it will be very much appreciated.

Thank you.

To know more about them, you have to do analysis. They are absolutely fundamental there.
Unfortunately, analysis is not very easy and is quite proof-based.

If you're interested in pursuing analysis, then you should probably start with "Calculus" by Spivak, which is a nice "introduction" to analysis. It's not a very easy book though and it requires you to be very familiar with proofs.

After a first introduction to analysis, you might want to take a look at interesting topics such as Fourier series.
 

Thread '"WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

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...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

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...
