How many exercises do I have to complete ?

AI Thread Summary
In the discussion about studying PoMA-Rudin, it is emphasized that completing all exercises after each chapter is not necessary to demonstrate understanding of the material. The exercises in Rudin's textbook are recognized for their difficulty, often requiring more than just the application of theorems and propositions presented in the text. Participants suggest that students should selectively engage with exercises, focusing on those that are challenging or intriguing rather than attempting to solve every problem. This approach allows for a more effective learning experience without the pressure of completing all exercises.

I'm taking PoMA-Rudin, do I have to complete all the exercises after every chapter to be regarded as understanding the material ?
Does all the tools for solving the exercises lie in the material? Because I feel many problems require more than the textbook. Thanks.

rudin's exercises are known to be pretty difficult and may require more ingenuity than just simply applying the theorems and propositions in the text. you shouldn't have to do all of the exercises either. i would say scan through the exercises and find ones that you don't know how to do right away and those that seem particularly interesting and work on those.
 
Many thanks :).
 

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...
