AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding affordable alternatives to a required textbook for a Differential Equations class for engineers. The original poster is seeking a cost-effective book that provides similar information to the university's free printed text. Recommendations include Dover books priced between $14 and $20, with a specific suggestion for the Schaum's Outline titled "Modern Introductory Differential Equations." This outline is highlighted for its extensive collection of solved problems and supplementary exercises, making it a valuable resource for students looking to enhance their understanding of the subject.

My DE class (for engineers) requires that the text be printed (for free at university!), and not that saving money is bad, but I wan't a book that can give me the same information for cheap.

I am thinking about these dover books that come $14-$20. Any suggestions?

You couldn't go amiss with the Schaum's Outline entitled, "Modern Introductory Differential Equations". It's in that price range. The great thing about any Schaum's Outline is the massive amount of solved problems and supplementary exercises with answers.
 

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...
