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 'Book recommendation after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics'

TL;DR Summary: Book after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics I am doing a comprehensive reading of sakurai and I have solved every problem from chapters I finished on my own, I will finish the book within 2 weeks and I want to delve into qft and other particle physics related topics, not from summaries but comprehensive books, I will start a graduate program related to cern in 3 months, I alreadily knew some qft but now I want to do it, hence do a good book with good problems in it first...

Thread 'Blennow to follow up Altland?'

TLDR: is Blennow "Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering" a good follow-up to Altland "Mathematics for physicists"? Hello everybody, returning to physics after 30-something years, I felt the need to brush up my maths first. It took me 6 months and I'm currently more than half way through the Altland "Mathematics for physicists" book, covering the math for undergraduate studies at the right level of sophystication, most of which I howewer already knew (being an aerospace engineer)...
