|
 |
So im gonna apply for uni next year, a program called mechatronics which is an engineering degree combining mechanics, electronics and digital technology.
Problem is ive forgotten mathematics etc as its bern 10 years since i graduated from swedish high school.
Any tips on good books for repeating math? Or any good web pages etc?
Maybe theres a repetition period when you first start uni in sweden?

There usually is. They need to make sure people actually understand wtf is happening. However its usually extremely short and intense. Dont you have single courses available on night schools etc?

MIT has great open course that you can watch, also Schaums outlines can give you a pretty good background knowledge in math imo...
When you're ready for something more serious, you go with Demidovich... There are like 1000 integrals there 
"Quantum mechanics is actually, contrary to it's reputation, unbeliveably simple, once you take the physics out."

I've used this one for years now:
http://www.amazon.com/Mathematical-Methods-Physics-Engineering-Comprehensive/dp/0521679710
It always gives a nice primer on how to solve problems. As far as I remember it isn't so good for differential geometry and tensor calculus and doesn't cover linear algebra. I'm not sure whether any of these topics is pensum(whatever that is called in english) in highschool. Maybe simple linear algebra?

http://www.mathtutordvd.com/ these videos have helped me a great deal in university (from calculus to physics). I greatly recommend them.

I can vouch for mathtutor. It doesn't go into any extreme depths, but it covers high school and early college mathematics/physics, and it is explained very well.

Math 101 will sort you out. Honestly its a joke.
I have a buddie that took mechatronics and did very well. Now he also has a business degree and he is loving life. Loves his job, and makes good coin.

fuck math 101, i did pretty terrible on it, I got C in that course and I got all A's from Calc 1 to 3 including B's from differential equations..go figure
this is mad awesome website

and let's not forget PatrickJMT has amazing videos too
