MHB Splitting a 352MB Calculus Textbook into Chapters

AI Thread Summary
A user is trying to split a 352MB calculus textbook into chapters, which totals 1050 pages, but is facing challenges with online splitters due to file size limits. They attempted to use Acrobat Reader on a university PC but found that the necessary tools were unavailable. Suggestions include using the paid version of Acrobat DC, although the user noted that their institution lacks the required tools. They discovered a trial version of A-PDF Split that can handle large PDFs, but it was slow and only partially successful. The discussion highlights the limitations of available software for splitting large PDF files in a university setting.

Re: spliting pdf

See here.

As you said, you may need the paid version of Acrobat. I believe Acrobat DC is the latest version, but your institution may have otherwise. The procedure may also vary depending on the operating system.

I'm surprised the tool is not available at your institution..

I did find a splitter to do very large PDF but have to down load the trial version A-PDF Split
but took forever but it cut in 2I do the homework with overleaf so c/p a lot from the pdfs
 

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'Fermat's Last Theorem'

Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
