AI Thread Summary
Recommendations for a down-to-earth Calculus II book focus on finding resources that explain concepts in clear, accessible language, similar to "The Calculus Lifesaver" for Calculus I. Users express a need for materials that not only clarify concepts but also provide ample practice problems. The textbook "Thomas' Calculus" is noted for being abstract and lacking in examples, prompting the search for alternative resources. A specific website is suggested as a valuable tool for additional support in understanding Calculus II topics.

Any recommendations for a down to Earth calc II book? For calc I I relied on The Calculus Lifesaver to explain the concepts to me in English. Is there anything for calc II the explains the concepts in English &/or is just a book full of extra problems (granted different books cover different topics)? The textbook I use, Thomas' Calculus seems pretty abstract at times & has very few examples.

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...
