These insights are really worth reading for anybody who is self studying, thanks. I got a lot tips and tricks which I can apply.
 
I heard from another user that you run an online math community on discord. As I'm self-studying math right now, I would be very interested in joining. Would you be so kind as to send me an invite?

Anyhow, thanks for your guides. They are very helpful.
 
Someone should write an insight for probability and statistics too. I am not sure if it is covered in any of the above areas. I have begun the proof book for intro to analysis.
 

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...
