AI Thread Summary
A request for book recommendations on algebraic geometry highlights the importance of rigor in study materials. The individual is already familiar with single-variable complex analysis and is currently studying Hungerford's "Algebra." A notable suggestion is Fulton's "Algebraic Curves: An Introduction to Algebraic Geometry," which is well-regarded in the field and accessible as a free PDF online. The discussion emphasizes the need for quality resources to effectively prepare for algebraic geometry.

I was wondering if anyone knows a decent list of books to prepare for and learn algebraic geometry. Rigor isn't a problem. As for my current preparation, I'm fairly comfortable with single-variable complex analysis and I'm currently making my way through Hungerford's "Algebra". Any help would be appreciated.

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...
