Tutor needed: Is there an odesk / elance equivalent for tutoring math/phy?
Hi all,
Im in my 3rd year at university studying physics and mathematics. However, I am now taking a year off from university to do self studying. My goal is to gain a deeper understanding of the subjects, as well as gaining some serious problem solving skills, and along the way I need a tutor.
In fact, I need an online tutor due to various reasons. Unfortunately sites like odesk and elance don't have an academics section, which would have been ideal for my situation. I was hoping that someone here has any suggestions, because apparently - google hasn't.
I had in mind a PhD/PostDoc/Assistant Professor-level tutor. It's not enough to just help me solving problems - I need to understand the concepts, proofs and theory. To give you some idea of of subjects I want to learn, here's some of the books I've bought:
"Mathematical Analysis, Second Edition"
- Tom M. Apostol
"Problem Solving Through Problems"
- Loren C. Larson;
"How to Sole It"
-George Pólya
"Elementary Number Theory: Second Edition"
- Underwood Dudley;
Complex Variables"
- Francis J. Flanigan;
"Challenge Your Brain Math & Logic Puzzles"
- Dave Tuller;
"An Introduction to the Theory of Numbers" and "A Course of Pure Mathematics"
- G. H. Hardy
"Ideals, Varieties, and Algorithms: An Intro. to Computational Algebraic Geometry and Commutative Algebra"
- David A. Cox;
"Mathematical Physics"
- Donald Howard Menzel;
"Numerical Methods for Scientists and Engineers"
- Richard W. Hamming;
"Introduction to Topology"
- Bert Mendelson;
I have not found any sites that provides tutors on these kind of topics, although they are pretty basic. PF is a great resource indeed, but I think that for my project I need a personal tutor. I hope I am not opposing the site rules here - I am just trying to get some advice on how to get guidance along my project :)
Thanks!
