Hi What topics in linear algebra do I need to know to start learning tensors? I know the following topics from linear algebra: 1-equation systems 2-vector spaces(linear independence, span, basis, important subspaces of a vector space) 3-linear transformations(kernel, Image, Isomorphic vector...

TL;DR: Unfortunately, I'm left with (what I feel is) a bit of a dilemma. I still feel fairly behind in math. I have the standard k-12 math curriculum down fine, but there are many topics that seem interesting and important that I feel I should've touched on years ago. Am I right in thinking...

Hi guys ! I've just found out about this forum and i must say that this is awesome because in my country nobody cares about engineering and physics ! Anyway, I'm on second year of mechanical engineering college and I've become victim of lazy lifestyle :) Since i am repeating second year i...

For proofs such as the derivative of cos or sin.. should I study them both analytically and geometrically? By analytically I mean to derive them by algebraic means. Or should I also study the geometrical "intuition" behind it? I love proofs but aren't completely fond of the geometrical...

How can we attract students to study mathematics at university?

Hi , I'm in year 9 and I'm going very well in maths and physics , top maths and being lectured at anu every friday for the tott comp. I want to do a bachelors in physics at ANU (Australian National University) as an undergrad. And I'm worried that I won't be able to make a PhB (Bachelors of...

Ok so I was wondering, I have been a lazy **** lately and gotten **** grades, I got 1/10 in Phonetics, witch is a pointless subject, I also suck in french, english and danish. I am getting bad grades around 3-5/10. But I can get good grades in physics and mathematics. I am good at those things...

I've always liked mathematics, and I've always preferred to study mathematics over any other discipline. But now that I'm studying at a more advanced level, it's kind of hard to keep the motivation to study it. For you who study mathematics, what's your motivation for studying it(other than...

Hey. I want to get up to an SAT II level of physics so I can skip it next year and go straight to AP Phys. Only thing is, I don't know of any textbook that would work well. Which textbooks would you guys recommend to get to the sufficient level of physics so I can test out of it? (In my school...

[1] When self studying, do you memorize vocabulary words and things like that? This isn't like taking a course where the teacher tells you what to memorize and what will be on the test. When self studying how do you separate the stuff? Or do you literally study the material "inside out" as in...

Has there been any period in your life where you've had to study long hours for a few days? Say, 5-6 hours of independent study for a few weeks? It's not that I cannot study or I'm too slow. I pick up things with relative ease but it's hard for me to stay concentrated for too long. I can do...

I'm an italian high school student, and I decided to do an in-depth study about DNA computer as final-thesis, that we have to make at the end of our final high school year, and whose function is a sort of introduction to the oral exam. Now, my question is: where can I found useful information...

Ok so I got hold of a good amount of schaum series books that I would like to study. The most advanced topic in math I know so far is basic differential and integral calculus and I can deal rather good with calculus-based introductory courses in physics (Newtonian mechanics). The books are...
