Suggestion on workbooks with examples, beyond calculus?

AI Thread Summary
Recommendations for workbooks with numerous examples in differential equations, linear algebra, and multivariable calculus are sought, particularly following the success of "The Humongous Book of Calculus Problems." Suggestions include Schaum's outlines, noted for their extensive exercises. However, concerns were raised about the lack of explanations in these outlines, prompting a search for newer editions that may offer more guidance. Additional requests for similar resources in physics were also mentioned. The discussion highlights the need for comprehensive workbooks that balance examples with thorough explanations.

Hi, I need some recommendation on workbooks with MANY examples, particularly for differential equations, linear algebra, and multivar. calculus. I completed "The Humongous Book of Calculus Problems" when taking calc 1 and 2, and that was extremely helpful. Any similar books on physics would be very helpful too!

Try a Schaum's outline. It contains wealth of exercises!
 
I tried that, but they only have questions and answers, not much explanation on how to get there, but I will check out the newer versions.
 

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 '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...
