AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the suitability of a specific book for learning proofs, with a focus on its price and availability. Participants suggest checking local libraries for copies, noting that many libraries may have the book. One user offers to reserve the book and answer specific questions once it becomes available. The conversation also touches on the need for resources specifically targeting high school-level proofs, such as two-column proofs. Overall, the thread emphasizes finding accessible learning materials for mastering proofs.

You might search http://www.worldcat.org for the title and tell it your zip code to see if a public library reasonably near to you might have a copy that you could look at. More public libraries have copies than I would expect.

A library near me has a copy, but it is checked out and won't be back for two weeks. If you had a few clear specific questions I could put a hold on it and when it shows up I could try to answer your questions. Leave a reply if you want me to do that.

Thanks, I certainly will, but first have you taken geometry in high school (probably:smile:). Do you any books that teach directly on high school proofs and nothing else? (such as two column proofs, etc.)
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
