I'm self teaching through "Fractal Geometry" by Kenneth Falconer. I'm a visual/auditory learner, so non-literature resources for niche topics like this would be super appreciated. I've seen all of 3B1B's fractal videos, but if anyone knows any lectures on the topic, it would be much appreciated!

I am taking an actuarial exam soon and would like to know how to numerically integrate just in case i come up with nonsensical solutions mid exam and need a quick out. my first guess would be to use composite simpsons rule but even that seems very long to set up and is hard to get a proper error bound. especially with improper integrals. any ideas?

Is someone from the USA in this subreddit coming to Bangkok in next couple of weeks? I have been longing to acquire the physical book of AoPS precalculus and calculus. I was hoping if can somebody bring those books to me. I will pay you when you hand me those books. The reason of this is I don't like the style of their ebooks. The contents are same but I am not that into ebooks. Another is the Fedex shipping price is so unreasonable, it is around 800 dollar for 20lb small package. I hope you understand the situation.
P. S. I am aware about ordering at Amazon. Books from there a little costly ..read more

What are some movies or shows that feature higher level math (like calculus or more advanced) but are not primarily about math? Think like Mean Girls- a lot of scenes take place in Cady's AP calculus classroom and there's a mathlete competition scene at the end, but the main plot isn't math based. I'm a first year undergraduate math student, and I'm going to my first conference at the end of April. I was just told that I should present a poster, and I currently plan on doing something along the lines of "Math in Popular Media: Is It Accurate?" I know directors will often just throw numbers an ..read more

I know the standard Brownian motion can be considered as a limit of simple random walk, but can we do that for any generic process? Given a stochastic differential equation, is it necessarily the limit of some Markov chain?

I'm not defending AI but I imagine if we feed an AI system all our math knowledge then it may help in something ( finding or validating new concepts )

First off, please be easy if this isn’t the best place for this. I know I’m not asking a math equation type question, but I still believe this to be important, if for no other reason, having a basis for understanding if having to ask/tell someone about numeric placement.
In the number 67, is the 7 considered to be in front or behind the number 6?
Also, what is this called!? It’s killing me, trying to search online for an answer but not having the right keywords.
My girlfriend and I have asked a chunk of our friend group and I’m quite literally the only one who believes the 7 is IN FRONT of th ..read more

I want to learn calculus of variations because the subject seems very interesting; I'm in computer science, but don't really have an application for it (it's mainly for curiosity). I do have a background in calculus, DEs, linear algebra, and elementary functional analysis, but I'm looking for a book whose flow is similar to Strogatz's book on nonlinear dynamics: something that introduces theory, but doesn't go too in-depth, and shows lots of practical use cases.
My current ideas are the books by Ewing or van Brunt, but I was wondering if the people here had other recommendations.

A bit of a controversial topic I guess but the further I go in my math education, the more I’m amazed at how much I take for granted that other people know as much as I do. I always assume everyone else knows more than I do.
It just hit me now that such a significant percentage of people don’t know anything beyond calculus (and if they even know calculus well). Is it just me being biased? What are your thoughts on this?
I’m still fairly inexperienced in math as I’m still in my undergrad having done a bit of undergrad research and some graduate coursework. Curious to know others’ perspectives ..read more

I need to approximate a set of points by the analytical dependence of a power function. Where can I ask for instructions?
