AI Thread Summary
For those seeking to learn calculus independently, several resources are recommended. The website tutorial.math.lamar.edu is highlighted as a valuable tool for understanding calculus concepts. Additionally, utilizing older calculus textbooks can be beneficial, as they often provide foundational knowledge. A specific PDF mentioned in another thread illustrates Archimedes' method for calculating area through limits, which is fundamental to integral calculus. These resources can help learners grasp the essential principles of calculus effectively.

Hello,

I'm trying to teach myself calculus, I can't really find any good books that explain it good though. So could anyone reccomend a book or website that would be helpful? Thank.

That one hyperlinked is not bad, worth looking at in detail. Still, a great way to start is with almost any old, used, Calculus textbook.
 


check out the pdf file in post 23 of the thread "any good calculus places to start" below. it shows you how archimedes computed area by a limit process, which is the genesis of integral calculus.
 
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
