Other What are some recommended books for preparing for the ISI entrance exam?

AI Thread Summary
For preparing for the BMath entrance exam for ISI, it's essential to build a solid foundation in mathematics over the year available for study. The user already possesses "Plane Trigonometry" by S.L. Loney and "Challenge and Thrill of Pre-College Mathematics," which are considered good resources for foundational concepts. Additionally, the ISI's own publication, TOMATO (Test of Mathematics at the 10+2 Level), is recommended for targeted preparation. The discussion highlights the need for reliable book suggestions that are accessible and effective, emphasizing the importance of firsthand experiences with the materials. Overall, focusing on well-regarded texts and resources that align with the exam's requirements is crucial for successful preparation.

I'm just done with 12th and I would like to prepare for the bmath entrance exam for ISI.
I need some books to prepare and build the basics. So considering there's approximately an year to prepare, please give some good book suggestions that are not too rare and too hard to find in bookstores
Also, I alredy have
1. Plane Trigonometry by S.L lonely
2. Challenge and thrill of precollege mathematics
Are these good for preparation?

Thankyou in advance 🙏

I think the ISI publishes their own book, TOMATO (Test of Mathematics at the 10+2 Level)
 

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...
