Hijacking this thread since I got meme'd on in Math General.
I'm starting second year of my physics bachelor's in a few moths. What are some good book for self-studying Vector Calc?

If you can read through Paul Matthews Vector Calculus, you'll be in great shape.

You can stop around chapter 7 when he starts talking about tensors, and pick it back up later when you're more mathematically experienced.
The whole thing is about 150 pages, so it can get dense sometimes, but take it slow and do all the problems

Thanks anon, I'll look into it.
Any other math subjects I should study? Last year we did Linear Algebra, Vector Calc, ODE, and introductory Laplace and Fourier Transforms.
