Does anyone have any good web resources to learn math methods?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding effective resources for learning math methods, particularly for those with some prior knowledge. The original poster expresses dissatisfaction with Prof. Strang's MIT video series, noting it is geared towards graduate students and assumes a baseline understanding. They seek alternative resources, ideally video lectures similar to those by Prof. Susskind or comprehensive course notes. A free book linked in the thread is mentioned as a promising resource, with positive initial impressions from its first chapter. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the need for accessible and engaging math methods materials for students.

Lately, I have become interested in learning math methods (actually reviewing, because I have taken a math methods course already). I have watched some of Prof. Strang's (MIT) Math Methods for Engineer videos, and couldn't say that I was a big fan of that video series. For one, it was for graduate students, and seemed to assume some knowledge of math methods already. I was wondering if there is another resource somewhere that's really good for learning math methods. Video lectures similar to the ones offered by Prof. Susskind (Stanford) would be great, or good course notes on math methods would be good as well. I feel that such a resource would be good for any physics student.

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
