Right in the qussy.
Dover: it’s either a breeze or completely inscrutable.
I can’t seem to find this book
Yeah but also no joke this book slaps. Awesome introduction to electronic structure theory for those interested. A bit dated, but hey those diagrams occupy the second half so they keep ya reading.
Foreword written by Georgia O’Keeffe.

Those dover books are the shiznit.
My Dover Ordinary Differential Equations book is my second favorite math book.
My first favorite is Spivak’s Calculus.
They’re both just so beautiful. Wish I had time to relearn it all again. :)
Are you saying that if I picked up a copy of that differential equations book I might actually learn wtf is going on? Because I only passed that class with the help of wolfram alpha and never looked back
Normally, the second time you learn something you tend to learn it much better.
I don’t know dude. I took multivariable calculus, ODEs, linear algebra, modern physics; and a numerical methods for engineers class— all in the same semester. I was a fucking mess and swimming in integrals and derivatives and matrices and systems of equations (both differential and ordinary algebraic) 177% of the time. I honestly don’t remember anything of that five months of my life. 11/10 would not recommend.
I don’t know that any one book was a savior. I was reading from like three books per topic all at once to try to make heads and tails of anything and spending every minute I could in my prof’s and TA’s office hours.
Those two books were some of the only ones I kept, and just donated everything else. Maybe it’s just nostalgia.
I should call her…
These entanglements change us
