Please recommend a free pdf book about university-level mathematics for me

AI Thread Summary
A second-year physics student seeks recommendations for PDF books on calculus, covering topics like limits, derivatives, integrals, matrices, and tensors. Suggestions include searching for lecture notes using keywords like "Analysis I +pdf" or "Calculus +pdf" to find relevant materials. Additionally, resources such as free math books and lecture notes are available through specific forum links. A notable recommendation is "Calculus" by Marsden, emphasizing the importance of understanding integral and differential calculus at this academic level.

Homework Statement:: Recommend PDF books
Relevant Equations:: .

Hi, I'm a second-year physics student and my uni doesn't have any study material in the syllabus. Only lectures. I want to learn more.
Can you recommend to me a good mathematics pdf book that is about calculus?
General topics: limits, derivatives, integrals, matrix, tensor (in the future).

Thanks.

FYI, if you are a second year physics student and do not know integral and differential calculus you are probably behind.

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)...
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...
