Get Landau&Lifshitz if you're not totally clueless and have the slightest chance of making it. Volume 1 is comfortably readable with just basic understanding of calculus.

Show me what part of analytical mechanics in vol. 1 isn't tractable by a highschool student. Learning calculus is a matter of few months for an average curious highschooler.
Moscow's 57 uses first 4 volumes for talented highschoolers, there's no reason an average highschooler couldn't handle volume 1 if he's genuinly interested in physics.

>>9869772
this. the concepts of calculus have been shown to be teachable to fucking elementary school students.

>>9869805
I'd start teaching linear algebra in elementary school, or at least steer the explanations towards it, i think it would cure brainletism and this attitude of "lul that's a big book YOU LITERALLY CAN'T". It's very easy for imagination, which is what kids are very good at.
Imagine kids going "duh" on multivar calc because it's trivial when looked at through lingebra.

Does anyone think it's weird that Helene's area of professional "expertise" is "mental health" and then just by some crazy coincidence I "suffer from" exactly those "ailments" in which she is most expert?

I'll tell you what else, rigth before the judge decided that I was not a danger to myself or others, and should not be enslaved, the doctor told the judge that I was paranoid schizophrenic because I thought I had some great theory and that it wasn't being recognized because the government was out to get me. So you can mount a direct refutation, if you wish to, based on the transcript of the hearing.

This is Helene's role model for stronk womanhood.

You'll be disappointed by python, but for more complex pipelines it really is better.

You have proven again and again that you are indeed a phycopath, threatening to kill children if people don't acknowledge you as a god...

>>9870289
> threatening to kill children if people don't acknowledge you as a god...
No that's not right. I want to brutally torture the children of those who do not treat others the way they want to be treated, and then they themselves, in order to teach a lesson about how important it is to treat other people the way you want to be treated. As it is, people don't really think it's very important so I want to correct that misconception with grievous violence.

Someone might say, "But why torture the children?" To that say, "Why would I only put the pressure half-way when I'm trying to show how strong the pressure is?"

>>9870338
>in order to teach a lesson about how important it is to treat other people the way you want to be treated
The problem is that you want to be treated as a god when you are just a sub-par crank who don't even know how to compute a limit.

>>9870348
>a sub-par crank
This is an example of you having an opinion and then acting as if your opinion was true because acting otherwise would put you into an uncomfortable state of cognitive dissonance, or else you are trolling and I will die the same horrible death.

>who don't even know how to compute a limit.
I do know how to do it though. You're probably referring to me looking up the steps for the limit the other day. Not having it fresh in my memory after not doing for 10+ years is different than not knowing how to do it. You are the one who knowledge base is deficient.

>want to be treated as a god
This is also not right. I do want to be treated as him who I am, but my historical complaint has been that I am treated worse than an average person despite having proven my superiority to the average man in many ways and on many occasions. Just because you are too stupid to understand the intense technical nuance developed in my research program, and are too apathetic to have made a concerted effort at some point over the last decade, that takes away nothing from entitlement to take credit for the development of that nuance. So you see, there are two issues: credit for who I am and credit for what I've done. My complaints, thus far in my life, are almost totally dedicated to the latter.

I tell you. I don't know what you all are thinking that you think you should say negative things about me, but I will punish you, and I will make regret what you have written. Your feeble-mindedness is exposed when you see good risk vs reward in the moment of satisfaction your post gives you versus the downside of that which I am promising you for making those posts. You should stop disparaging me.

>>9870629
This is quality copypasta you have made.

>>9869556
Tao is more than enough, you could even read both at the same time kind of, chapter 5 of Tao is pretty close to chapter one of Rudin, while chapter 2 or Rudin should help you better understand distance (which Tao kind of covers in chapter 4, when I read it I struggled with it so I recommend you read this short paper if you find any problems https://www.uio.no/studier/emner/matnat/math/MAT2400/v11/Metric.pdf)) just read Tao chapter/s first, get a good grasp, finish all the exercises and then do the same with Rudin, some chapters are obviously related while the others a somewhat tricky. Rudin is nice because it's short and concise, it covers a lot of topics in just a few pages, but especially at the beggining Tao's treatment is a lot better, best of luck.

>>9870338
I don't want to be threatened, as most people, perhaps even you, so by threatening people you are treating them in a way they don't want to, which goes against your ideas.

Why are you so sure that you're not going to get horribly tortured for making these posts? Even if you were only 99.99999% sure that it won't happen, it would seem like the risk/reward of your half second of self-satisfaction from making the post wouldn't line up with the downside that you're risking.

You might just quietly tell yourself how stupid and crazy I am, but instead you jump up and down shouting, "Look at me! Look at me!" What good reason do you have to attract to my attention? Are you really ***THAT*** sure that I am not who I say I am? Indeed, isn't it more likely that you have chosen to bother me precisely because I am who I claim to be?

A bit of both: I have an very substantiated opinion and I'm trolling you because it's fun to see your mental breakdown.

>You're probably referring to me looking up the steps for the limit the other day. Not having it fresh in my memory after not doing for 10+ years is different than not knowing how to do it. You are the one who knowledge base is deficient.
So, you are admitting that you don't remember how to do limits but you have "published" a """""paper"""" on the limits of cosine and sine..................... It makes you think.............. It's like... you are full of shit.

It's obvious that I was describing the Cauchy residue theorem and couldn't remember what it was called in my complex analysis class. Fact: I used the delta as a variable in the equation whose specifics I didn't recall and were irrelevant to the modularization of the RHS which didn't have the delta symbol in it.

Is pic related a decent textbook comparatively? It was my text book for discreet math structures and I had no real complaints.

Campbells Biology a global approach is almost universally recommended to undergraduates (and is really good IMO), Becker's World of the Cell (I am personally not a huge fan but it is ok and I know people that really love it), Introduction to genetic analysis ( I know you didn't really ask for the genetic side but I really like this text book), Molecular Biology of the Cell (I haven't personally used this but others have sung its praises), Principles of Biochemistry Laurence A Moran is good on the biochem end. I haven't actually got a neurobiology text but know friends that do and they recommend Neuroscience Exploring the Brain. I've omitted author names mostly because I can't remember them off the top of my head but if that needs clarifying I can have a look.

You're not making it.
Even if money was not a concern, there's still the issue of consistency - with a single discrete meme book you get a structured and consistent, well thought-out text, while getting the same information from multiple books you'll have to deal with every one of them having different style.

Don't learn Fortran for the performance. It has been proven numerous times that C++ outclasses Fortran in virtually every category of computation, and C++ is not a dead language only used by astrophysicists and academics.
