AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights the importance of mastering concepts through repeated practice and intuitive understanding, particularly in subjects like logic, statistics, probability, and advanced calculus. The original poster emphasizes their success in mastering propositional and predicate logic through extensive problem-solving, which has helped solidify their knowledge in various academic areas. They seek recommendations for books that offer a wealth of problems with solutions specifically for statistics, probability, and advanced calculus, noting that they already have a satisfactory resource for probability. Suggested resources include "Calculus" by James Stewart and "Probability and Statistical Inference" by Hogg and Tanis, indicating a focus on finding comprehensive materials for effective learning and practice in these subjects.

Walking to campus this morning, a light bulb appeared above my head...

The concepts that I've mastered, I define mastery as an intuitive understanding of problem solving methods, have one thing in common. I've practiced or used these ideas repeatedly, so they are stored in my long-term memory. For example, I self-studied propositional and predicate logic through UC Davis Logic Primer, which has a ton of problems and exercises with solutions. I've also had to use logic in: Discrete Structures, Analysis, and arguments with my wife.

I'm wondering if you guys know about any books with lots and lots of problems with solutions for these subjects: Statistics, Probability, & Advanced Calculus (as per the topics covered in Baby Rudin)?

Note: I have a copy of The Probability Tutoring Book, which does have a lot of problems with solutions, so a good probability book is the lowest priority of the above 3 subjects.

Try searching for these books. "Calculus by James Stewart, CENGAGE Learning" . "Probability and Statistical Inference (8th edition) by Robert V. Hogg and Elliot A. Tanis, PEARSON"
 
By looking around, it seems like Dr. Hassani's books are great for studying "mathematical methods for the physicist/engineer." One is for the beginner physicist [Mathematical Methods: For Students of Physics and Related Fields] and the other is [Mathematical Physics: A Modern Introduction to Its Foundations] for the advanced undergraduate / grad student. I'm a sophomore undergrad and I have taken up the standard calculus sequence (~3sems) and ODEs. I want to self study ahead in mathematics...
