Guys..., that Series & Sequences introduction by Boas' book...

AI Thread Summary
The first chapter of the discussed book is criticized for being extremely boring, focusing primarily on the concepts of divergence and convergence of series. Participants express frustration with the content and question whether it is worth skipping this chapter. There is a call for recommendations of more engaging books that cover similar topics but in a more interesting manner. Additionally, there is a desire for broader coverage beyond just convergence, indicating a need for more diverse and stimulating content in mathematical literature.

It's awful, the reading of this first chapter is extremely boring, he appears only to cover divergence and convergence of series, should i skip this chapter?

So what book would be non boring to you? And what don't you like except for it being boring?
And what would you like it to cover aside from convergence?

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

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!
