Continuously on the search for good, pedagogical books/papers on Motives

>>7359647
"Motives"?

>>7360125
Of the Algebraic Geometry kind, i.e. universal cohomologies

books to learn about telecommunications

>>7358574
Someone yelled at me from the last thread for just giving a bunch of recommendations and not stopping to chat.

So, to >7357905
I work in areas that can be classified as several complex variables, complex algebraic geometry and differential geometry. Think the Siu/Demailly school of complex analytic method in algebraic geometry, mixed in with more typical (complex) differential geometry (the former I am stronger at, was what I studied as a PhD student, the latter I am getting into more now). I try to learn mathematical physics (mostly just conceptually/shallowly), but I am not an expert and cannot even dream of publishing in the area. I find it very interesting though, so I've looked through many books in the area for conceptual overviews but haven't done many problems/proofs. I still have looked through enough books/been to enough conferences to know what I like, but take my recommendations there with a grain of salt, as my perspective might be completely different.

>>7359647
I would like to know this as well. Seems like there are not many good sources to get started in this area

most of these are pretty good. the fluids and modern phys books arent the best tho

>>7362152
Why has this pic become such a meme? Because it expresses monomaniacal autism for nuclear engineering?

>>7362166
>meme
no meme, people are just salty because theyre NEET and mad that someones doing something interesting and worth while

>>7362168
lol i've seen this pic on lit as well

>>7362169
Now that's a meme. I don't think it's the same picture though.

Can someone recommend me a good to start studying complex analysis?

>>7362204
good book*, I'm a retard who can't write

>>7362146
Cool, I guessed from your recs you were doing something with complex geometry.

Are you doing a postdoc or do you work at a University?

>>7362204
Ablowitz 4 lyfe

>>7358574
I'm not a biologist but I have been wanting to do a little study in the field to round off some gaps in my scientific knowledge.
I remember pretty much everything from high school so I don't need a book on the basics.

What would some good books be /sci/?

>>7362262
These are all pretty nice:

Physical Biology of the Cell, Phillips & Kondev
Introduction to Genetic Analysis, Griffiths
Molecular Biology of the Cell, Alberts et al.

>>7358574
read the sticky

any good nursing ones? other than potter and perry?
Physiology?

>>7362262
bamp

algebraic topology with exercises and applications, like to protein folding.

and any math book that provides intuitive explanations along with the proofs.

>inb4 Spivak and Rudin

Anyone have some recommendations for General Chemistry? Most books i see are for Organic

>>7362204
<span class="math">i=\sqrt{-1}[/spoiler]
just derive the rest u just need high iq

>>7362805
Oxtoby/Gillis/Campion
Atkins/Jones
Brown (AP Edition)

>>7362803
Baby Rudin is literally the best into to baby analyis book out there.

Spivak serves no purpose though.

>>7362755
>and any math book that provides intuitive explanations along with the proofs.
What field?

>>7362816
No, i^2=-1

>>7362910
no i = (0,1)

>>7362829
any field is ok since i like to learn as much math as possible to apply to physics problems.

>>7362204
a good start is saff and snider. however, i recommend studying real analysis first.

>>7362950
Read Lang - Algebra
It's as intuitive as math gets

>>7358574
quantum physics?
modern physics? Where to start?

pls respond

>>7364167
forgot pic

Has anybody read "Engineering Mechanics" by Dietmar Gross? Is it worth to read?

>>7364167
What's your knowledge of math and classical physics?

How useful is supplementing Atiyah-MacDonald with, say, Eisenbud for the budding algebraic geometer?

>>7364488
I found with commutative algebra that the more resources the better. Supplement with Eisenbud, Matsumura, and for the more informal side Kazuya's lecture notes which are both highly readable and entertaining: http://math.uchicago.edu/~chonoles/expository-notes/courses/2013/326/math326notes.pdf

Abstract Algebra

What's a good first book that's intuitive?

What the fuck happened to libgen? I can't afford to buy all these books.

>>7364685
Bro. idk. I hope we haven't lost the mirror for good.

I'm planning to buy all these textbooks once I finish my degree, but I can barely afford pens at the momen.

>>7364685
Use

for searching, and then download from the 3rd mirror (bookzz.org)

>If you look on the street, you never meet a commutative ring; that’s rather strange. They are rather shy I think. We need to ask them to come to this room. Rings, rings, please come! Rings, rings please come! *shuffles along the floor, playing the part of the ring* Finite fields, come! Rings of functions, come! *hops* I think they are here now.

Anything good on acoustics? I already know of Randall.

>>7362152

>shiggydiggydoo

Any good books on linear algebra?

Should I learn real analysis before starting with abstract algebra, assuming I'm already comfortable with rigor?

>>7364642
I said it last thread and I'll say at as many more times as necessary.

Aluffi - Algebra: Chapter 0.

Nothing else compares.

>>7365594
david c lay 3rd edition is very good. i went through that entire book and did all the exercises many years ago.
>>7365629
you can learn them separately

>>7365639
This book is honestly so good
Plus Aluffi is a pretty cool guy

>>7365708
You've met him?

I've never met him but his style sure makes him seem like a pretty cool guy.

>>7365712
Only very briefly actually. Mostly I know him secondhand through my advisor

>>7365718
I see. I turned down fsu because when I thought about it a second time I don't think I could stand Florida weather (plus I got a better offer somewhere else), otherwise I'd probably have at least seen him in passing before. Such is life.

could anyone recommend any books at all for electronics made for space?
