Suggest a book for problem solving

AI Thread Summary
Key recommendations for improving problem-solving skills include "The Art and Craft of Problem Solving" by Zeitz and "Principles of Mathematical Problem Solving" by Erickson and Flowers, both of which focus on mathematical problem-solving techniques. For those interested in physics-related problem-solving, "Problems in General Physics" by Irodov is suggested as a valuable resource. The discussion emphasizes the need for books that enhance problem-solving abilities, particularly with an engineering or physics focus.

The Art and Craft of Problem Solving by Zeitz
Principles of Mathematical Problem Solving by Erickson/Flowers

These are two good, popular books on mathematical problem solving. I don't know any for engineering.

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...
