SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding alternative resources for a math methods course based on the book by Riley, Hobson, and Bence. The user expresses difficulty with the Preliminaries section and seeks recommendations for better learning materials. They suggest that the book by Boas may be suitable for topics such as Complex Analysis, Fourier Series, and ODEs/PDEs. Additionally, the user requests a title change for better visibility.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with Riley, Hobson, and Bence's math methods book
  • Understanding of Complex Analysis concepts
  • Knowledge of Fourier Series and Transforms
  • Basic principles of Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) and Partial Differential Equations (PDEs)
NEXT STEPS
  • Research alternative textbooks for math methods, focusing on Preliminaries
  • Explore Boas' book for Complex Analysis and Fourier Series
  • Investigate online resources or forums for ODEs and PDEs
  • Look into study groups or tutoring options for math methods support
USEFUL FOR

Students enrolled in math methods courses, educators seeking supplemental materials, and anyone struggling with advanced mathematical concepts such as Complex Analysis and Fourier Transforms.

Hi,

For my math methods 3 course, I am not quite sure which books to use. The course is based on the math methods book by Riley, Hobson, and Bence, and I don't particularly like it.

Hence, I am looking for some alternatives. Especially for the Preliminaries section. I had a real hard time doing the problem sets for that part, and I didn't know where to find resources to properly learn this.

For the rest of the course, which is Complex Analysis, Fourier Series and Transforms, ODEs, and PDEs, I suspect Boas should work.

I've attached a file with the aforementioned Preliminaries section.

Thanks!

Could the title please be changed to "Prerequisites for complex analysis and Fourier transforms"?

Maybe more people would actually read it then?

Thanks.
