Re: “On the plus side I have lots of time to study Mathematics. I'd like to master Calculus”
Now that's a coincidence! Here's something I can recommend. Amazing, amazing, amazing amount of work and love/creativity driving this guy! On his Coursera SINGLE variable calculus class (link below) he mentioned something about working on a multivariate calculus class, but I didn't think too much about it because (a) his single variable/variate is hard enough and I still have a lot to do there (b) I was thinking multivariate couldn't be that different than single (wrongo).(c) I didn't think he was very far along on that project.

But when I went to his U Penn website to look for some text material I stumbled into the "blue" calculus project and the volume of teaching videos is immense and the videos themselves are AMAZING in full animation/cartoons, graphics, special effects, etc. And the quality of the teaching is totally mesmerizing...

Anyway here this stuff is, and I hope you at least go through the first few videos to get some idea of how great this guy is as a teacher!! If I don't come back I am probably lost in 59th dimensional space somewhere, riding a wave function to a new manifold or something! :-/

Well De,
There is some truth to that.
If I'd had my way last September I would have taken
my woman on a road trip to see the Grand Canyon.

On the plus side I have lots of time to study Mathematics. I'd like to master Calculus . . . but
first comes advanced Algebra and Trigonometry.

I've also found the derivative does have its uses.

Zim.
