TL;DR Summary: analytical mechanics ressources Pleaaaaaaase , can someone send me ressources to study analytical mechanics ...??? I'm hopeless

I'm interested in developing resources for bright students who are in the last year or so of high school, and are looking to stretch themselves and tackle some science that's beyond the curriculum. These would, I hope, also be of value to students looking to bridge the gap between high school...

It is common to hear in popular sources (at least from the people that like to rant) that string theory has taken over real physics, that physics has been lost since the development of the string theory program, that much effort has gone into string theory with no results, and so on... I would...

I always confuse picard-lindelof forints converse. I want additional reading but don't know how to find it. Moderator Note: Moved from Academic Advising since it is too specific, and too narrow for Science Textbooks.

TL;DR Summary: Online Resources request for chemistry quizzes for practice Are there any other website besides the ones shown in the images that give quizzes for practicing chemistry? AFAIK, most resources online aren't as minimalistic. Requesting others like these.

Hi, everyone! I'm planning on teaching myself math all the way back from the basics, up to high school stuff. It has been a long time since I studied math. I've never been a great student back in school. I daydreamed most of the time, and when it came to math, I always rote learned and...

Okay so I find myself with quite a bit of time on my hands and I have always been a messy note taker so I decided to learn LaTEX just for the heck of it. I searched for previous threads but they were generally confusing. I have very minimum programming experience. So I would really appreciate it...

I recently had to do some IR specs of some inorganic compounds (technically organometallic), and I found the literature for inorganic bonds lacking, like the wavenumber of metal-oxygen, metal-carbon bonds etc. Is there a data book on this?

I'd like a good set of notes or a textbook recommendation on how to approach vector differential equations. I'm looking for something that isn't specific to one type of application like E&M, fluid dynamics, etc., but draws heavily from those and other fields for examples. I'd strongly prefer a...
