LTI Systems, Delta Distribution, and more

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on seeking alternative resources for a math methods course that primarily uses the book by Riley, Hobson, and Bence, which the user finds unsatisfactory. There is a specific request for better materials to understand the Preliminaries section, as the user struggled with problem sets in that area. For the remainder of the course covering Complex Analysis, Fourier Series and Transforms, Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs), and Partial Differential Equations (PDEs), the user believes that Boas's book may be a suitable alternative. Additionally, there is a suggestion to change the thread title to "Prerequisites for complex analysis and Fourier transforms" to attract more readers.

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.
 

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...
