Which pages are Cal 1 only in the Humongous book of Calculus

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on identifying which sections of the Humongous Book correspond to Calculus 1 (Cal 1) and which can be skipped as they relate to Calculus 2 (Cal 2). Key recommendations include focusing on Chapters 5, 9-15, and 17-18 for Cal 1 material, while suggesting that Chapters 23-28 primarily cover Cal 2 concepts. Additionally, Chapters 16, 20, 21, and 22 are advised to be skipped. The participant expresses relief at being able to narrow down their study material, emphasizing the urgency of preparing for an upcoming credit exam.

Important:
Would you please tell me which pages or sections in the Humongous Book are Cal 1 ( which I need for my online pre-req course in Cal 1) and/or which pages or sections Relate to Cal 2 (which I can skip)?
Thank you :)

Not important:
I am taking an online course in Cal 1 but have to write for credit exam before Nov in order to apply to University for winter semester. The book is much easier to understand than the online course, but since it is not under the same headings as the course I don't know which problems in th HB of Cal are Cal 1 vs which are Cal 2 and I want to study Cal 1 only as I have only 3 weeks to learn it all!

Not having the book, but browsing the table of contents, it really seems like most of the book is focused on Calc 1 problems.
I would say Chapters 23-28 are more Calc 2 concepts.
If you need to pare it down more, I would say skip Ch. 16, 20, 21, and 22.
If your algebra and trig skills are solid, you can probably cut out most of the first few chapters too, but they will likely be a good review.
Chapters 5, 9 -15, and 17-18 look like what I would expect to see on an exam.

Thank you RUber! I feel incredibly relieved to be able to narrow it down as I begin. I've always loved Math but it has been a long time and the time seems so short before I have to write the exam. Have a super day, I will be working through your suggested chapters !
 
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...
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...
