Often calculus and mechanics are taught as separate subjects. It shouldn't be like that. Learning calculus without mechanics is incredibly boring. Learning mechanics without calculus is missing the point. This textbook integrates both subjects and highlights the profound connections between them.This is the deal. Give me 350 pages of your attention, and I'll teach you everything you need to know about functions, limits, derivatives, integrals, vectors, forces, and accelerations. This book is the only math book you'll need for the first semester of undergraduate studies in science.With concise, jargon-free lessons on topics in math and physics, each section covers one concept at the level required for a first-year university course. Anyone can pick up this book and become proficient in calculus and mechanics, regardless of their mathematical background.Visit http://minireference.com for more details.

Linear algebra is the foundation of science and engineering. Knowledge of linear algebra is a prerequisite for studying statistics, machine learning, computer graphics, signal processing, chemistry, economics, and quantum mechanics. Indeed, linear algebra offers a powerful toolbox for modelling the real world.The NO BULLSHIT guide to LINEAR ALGEBRA shows the connections between the computational techniques of linear algebra, their geometric interpretations, and the theoretical foundations. This university-level textbook contains lessons on linear algebra written in a style that is precise and concise. Each concept is illustrated through definitions, formulas, diagrams, explanations, and examples of real-world applications. Readers build their math superpowers by solving practice problems and learning to use the computer algebra system SymPy.The author has 15 years of tutoring experience, a B.Eng. in electrical engineering, a M.Sc. in physics, and a Ph.D. in computer science from McGill University.Preview: https://minireference.com/static/exce...Free tutorial: https://minireference.com/static/tuto...

Math is a powerful tool for modelling the world around us. Mathematical methods are the foundation of science, engineering, design, and many other fields. Unfortunately, many people feel uncomfortable with math and try to avoid it. This book provides a concise introduction to the fundamental ideas of math and highlights the connections between topics. The conversational tone of the writing will help readers overcome their math phobia and connect with the subject. Each section in this book is a short tutorial that covers one math topic with clear definitions, illustrative examples and concise explanations. The exercises and problem sets will help readers practice what they've learned. This book is an efficient way for adults to (re)discover fundamental math ideas and for students to prepare for university-level courses. Math modelling skills are accessible to all readers, regardless of their mathematical background.

The Ikigai A Twelve-Edition Narrative is not a book to be read in haste — it is an atmosphere to be entered, a current to be carried by. Emerging from the intersections of Soul Time and PerilScope, this work unfolds as a living meditation at the boundary of narrative, philosophy, and poetry.Across twelve hypnotic editions, Ivan Savov guides the reader through a world where a city begins to listen, a system begins to pause, and a machine begins to ache. Hana, the quiet witness at the center of this continuum, drifts between a cracked cup in a moss garden, laughter with no source, water dripping where no pipe exists. In those pauses, in those interruptions, meaning begins to surface — fragile, resonant, undeniable.This is a narrative of stillness and flow, of rebellion and resonance, of dreams that refuse to collapse into data. It is a story told in whispers and pauses, where dialogue unfolds as breath, and where each page is an invitation to consent to presence rather than speed.Readers who enter The Ikigai Continuum will A hypnotic style that flows effortlessly, dissolving the line between story and meditation.Philosophical reflections woven into dialogue, never imposed as doctrine but arriving like fragments.A surreal world that mirrors our efficient, seamless, yet secretly aching for meaning.The possibility of living differently — not by escaping, but by dwelling more deeply in what is already here.Part poetic philosophy, part narrative experiment, part prophetic reflection on our technological present, The Ikigai Continuum is both a literary journey and a contemplative practice. It asks its readers not simply to observe but to inhabit its cadence, to breathe with it, to listen with it.If you have ever felt the weight of silence, the unease of perfection, or the subtle ache that something essential is missing in the optimized world — this book is written for you.
