AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around preparing for a Mathematical Methods course test in two weeks, with a focus on overcoming deficiencies in calculus. The individual is currently using Boyce's and Spivak's Calculus books for practice but seeks additional resources that provide explained solutions, similar to those found on intmath.com. They mention a background in pharmacy and biology, which makes understanding math textbooks challenging. The conversation also touches on the nature of Mathematical Methods, indicating that it encompasses topics that prepare students for advanced mathematics courses, including calculus. A member shared a link to a university's Mathematical Methods syllabus, suggesting that a solid foundation in Intermediate Calculus and more advanced topics is necessary for success in the course.

Hello! I have a test in two weeks for a Mathematical methods course, and the teacher likes to use very tricky problems. My calculus is a little deficient, and I need to practice a lot. I'm currently using both Boyce's and Spivak's Calculus books to do exercises, but I'd like to find a source of problems that give explained solutions, similar to what they do on intmath.com. My background is in pharmacy and biology, and reading math textbooks is still a little hard for me.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

What does THAT title mean for your course? The knowledgeable members have mentioned Mathematical Methods and Strategies of Proof, as some names for a set of topics which prepare students for upper division Mathematics courses so that such students can learn or study advanced calculus or real and ... whatever those more advanced and upper level courses are.

I just tried some internet searching and found this as showing some contents of Mathematical Methods in at least one particular university:
https://math.temple.edu/~prisebor/mm1.pdf

From what's listed there, you must have studied at least , AT LEAST Intermediate Calculus, as well as more advanced mathematics.

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
