===================================

## Textbook

The textbooks for this course are listed in the {ref}`sec:Syllabus`.

## Differential Equations
ODEs are tricky, and it helps to be familiar some of the available tables of exact
solutions like the following:

* "Handbook of Exact Solutions for Ordinary Differential Equations":
  {cite}`Polyanin:2003`.

## Linear Algebra

* [Essence of linear algebra][]: A great set of highly visual videos by [3Blue1Brown][]
  getting you up to abstract vector spaces.
* [MIT 18.06 Linear Algebra]: A set of [video
  lectures](https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-06-linear-algebra-spring-2010/video_galleries/video-lectures/)
  and accompanying material for the MIT Linear Algebra course.
* [Qiskit Linear Algebra](https://qiskit.org/textbook/ch-appendix/linear_algebra.html):
  A short introduction that is part of the [Qiskit][] platform.
* Appendix A of {cite:p}`Mermin:2007` has a nice short review of Dirac notation.

## Integration

If you need some practice integrating, the following might be of use:
* The past tests of the [MIT Integration Bee][].
* If you want to watch someone solving integratls, see: [100
  integrals](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgm4-3-Iv3s&ab_channel=blackpenredpen).
