I am looking for a book called... "the art of problem solving Introduction to Algebra" by Richard Rusczyk.
Has anyone hurd of this book? Is it any good?
Anyways... Does anyone know where to download free PDF's online?

Maybe you might want to try Amazon, Chapters, or even, if god don't forbid it, a bookstore.

Or, if you are in Toronto, as I am, and happen to have a login for the public library's portal to safari, as I do, you can choose from a vast array of up to date books and instructional videos for free (well, I do pay taxes so it's not completely free).

Then again, if you are devious, you could always search google for the "book title" and ("rapidshare" or "hotfile" or a number of different file sharing sites)

But, if you buy the book, you get to write notes in the margins; a capability the kind of which I do find to be extremely useful from time to time.
 
I've searched all over the net... and the obviouse choice would be amazon but I obviously want it for free if I can get it...
 
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...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
