AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around preparing for a Mathematical Methods course test in two weeks, with a focus on overcoming deficiencies in calculus. The individual is currently using Boyce's and Spivak's Calculus books for practice but seeks additional resources that provide explained solutions, similar to those found on intmath.com. They mention a background in pharmacy and biology, which makes understanding math textbooks challenging. The conversation also touches on the nature of Mathematical Methods, indicating that it encompasses topics that prepare students for advanced mathematics courses, including calculus. A member shared a link to a university's Mathematical Methods syllabus, suggesting that a solid foundation in Intermediate Calculus and more advanced topics is necessary for success in the course.

Hello! I have a test in two weeks for a Mathematical methods course, and the teacher likes to use very tricky problems. My calculus is a little deficient, and I need to practice a lot. I'm currently using both Boyce's and Spivak's Calculus books to do exercises, but I'd like to find a source of problems that give explained solutions, similar to what they do on intmath.com. My background is in pharmacy and biology, and reading math textbooks is still a little hard for me.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

What does THAT title mean for your course? The knowledgeable members have mentioned Mathematical Methods and Strategies of Proof, as some names for a set of topics which prepare students for upper division Mathematics courses so that such students can learn or study advanced calculus or real and ... whatever those more advanced and upper level courses are.

I just tried some internet searching and found this as showing some contents of Mathematical Methods in at least one particular university:
https://math.temple.edu/~prisebor/mm1.pdf

From what's listed there, you must have studied at least , AT LEAST Intermediate Calculus, as well as more advanced mathematics.

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
