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.

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
This is part 2 of my thread Collection of Free Online Math Books and Lecture Notes Here, we will consider physics and mathematical methods for physics resources. Now, this is a work in progress. Please feel free comment regarding items you want to be included, or if a link is broken etc. Note: I will not post links to other collections, each link will point you to a single item. :book:📚📒 [FONT=trebuchet ms]Introductory college/university physics College Physics, Openstax...
