Algebra A Course in Algebra Book Study Group | Self-Learning Support

AI Thread Summary
A Course in Algebra by E.B. Vinberg is being studied by individuals seeking to form a book study group for collaborative learning and discussion. The idea is to create a supportive environment for self-learners to share insights and tackle exercises together. Additionally, a suggestion is made to consider "Algebra: Chapter 0" by Aluffi as an alternative resource. Concerns are raised about the effectiveness of online group studies, with recommendations to explore platforms like Math Stack Exchange or Art of Problem Solving for more structured group study opportunities.

Hey everyone,
I'm currently studying A Course in Algebra by E.B. Vinberg, and I was wondering if anyone is studying the same book. I think it will be a less lonely journey for all of us self learners if we can form a book study group to discuss ideas and exercises.

Hi! Just to give a second thought about the book, you might be interested in "Algebra: Chapter 0" by Aluffi. I am not sure if the group study over online is effective though. You might be interested in asking that question to the Math Stack Exchange or Art of Problem Solving as I believe both websites have active group study, and have corresponding websites.

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...
