Geometry Textbook on Co-ordinate Geometry and Vector Analysis

AI Thread Summary
For those seeking textbooks on Coordinate Geometry and Vector Analysis at the undergraduate level, recommendations include "Introduction to Vector Analysis" by Snider and Davis, along with "Schaum's Outlines of Vector Analysis" for additional examples and exercises. It's emphasized that recommendations should consider the individual's background and academic goals, as students vary widely in their mathematical preparedness. A specific request highlights the need for foundational texts suitable for a new undergraduate majoring in Physics, particularly to support studies in General Relativity.

In order to give a good recommendation, you should tell what is your background and your goal/context.

I mean for undergraduate level.
 
I would recommend Introduction to Vector Analysis by Snider and Davis and Schaum's Outlines of Vector Analysis, as a complementary book for lots of examples and exercises.

That doesn't answer anything. I know undergraduates who take grad general relativity classes. And I know undergraduates who barely take more than basic calculus. So you really need to be detailed.

I have just completed high school and started undergraduate studies. As I will do major in Physics, I need a book which covers the basic ideas essential for studying General Relativity.
 

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...
