To become proficient in applying calculus concepts to heat transfer, several resources are recommended. Books on "engineering mathematics," "math methods for physics," "partial differential equations," and "boundary value problems" are essential for covering the necessary topics. Notable suggestions include Nearing's book, which contains relevant material, and Farlow's straightforward text, ideal for beginners looking to solve the heat equation. Additionally, online resources such as lecture notes and the Lamar University tutorial on differential equations provide valuable guidance. Utilizing college libraries and online searches can yield further useful materials.

Does anyone know of any good sources, websites, books etc. That would be best for trying to become proficient in these topics in as short of a time period possible?

I have a good grasp on calculus concepts as is, but I'm undertaking a unit that involves these concepts in the application to heat transfer, which I haven't learned as of yet due to being mid-semester entry in my major.

Any help or direction would be appreciated.

Almost any book on "engineering mathematics" or "math methods for physics" or "partial differential equations" or "boundary value problems" will cover most of these topics. Check your library and you will likely find something that works for you. If you google you will also be able to find some lecture notes on these topics.
One example is Nearing's book, which has some of the material,

A very straightforward book is Farlow,
https://www.amazon.com/dp/048667620X/?tag=pfamazon01-20
Your college library likely has this book in the library. If you have never seen the topics before, and simply want to learn enough to be able to solve the heat equation then this book may be what you are looking for.
