AI Thread Summary

The discussion centers on finding resources for hyperbolic functions and other transcendental functions beyond trigonometric functions. A notable recommendation is the three-volume set "Higher Transcendental Functions" by Erdelyi, which is recognized for its comprehensive coverage, although it is not classified as a textbook. Participants express interest in locating additional English-translated materials on hyperbolic functions, indicating a gap in accessible literature on this topic.

The most comprehensive reference is the three volume set
Erdelyi, Higher Transcendental Functions
It’s not a textbook, however.

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...

Thread 'Suggestions for Analytic Number Theory textbooks'

Something other than Apostol's book which I find lacking in motivation. Not too advanced, since it is my first encounter with ANT.

Thread 'Physics Introduction book'

Hi, I'm an undergraduate physics student and I'm currently in my second week of the first semester. I wonder if I should use Sears and Zemansky's University Physics or Halliday and Resnick's Fundamentals of Physics as my book reference. Which one do you guys think is the best? or if there's any better book out there please let me know! =)
