Although I have not read "Theoretical Minimum", I have seen Susskins Lectures and he assumes the viewer has a decent knowledge of mathematics (Trig,Multivariable Calculus, Differential Equations (and Partial Differential Equations), Linear Algebra, Statistics...). Since "Theoretical Minimum" was written for a larger audience, the mathematics contained in it is most likeley watered down ( I scanned an open copy on amazon). If you would like a deep understanding of what Susskind is talking about, there is no substitute for years of practiced mathematics and physics.
The purpose of Susskind's lectures is to provide a comprehensive understanding of advanced mathematical concepts and their applications in modern physics.
Yes, Susskind's lectures are aimed at individuals with a strong foundation in mathematics, particularly in calculus and linear algebra.
A mathematics book can provide a detailed explanation of the mathematical concepts and formulas used in Susskind's lectures, making it easier to follow and comprehend the material.
Yes, Susskind himself recommends several books in his lectures, such as "Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering" by Riley, Hobson, and Bence, and "Mathematics for Physicists" by Susan Lea.
No, it is important to also watch the lectures and follow along with the examples and explanations given by Susskind. The mathematics book can serve as a supplement to further enhance your understanding.
