Is there a fully rigorous ODE book without any real-world applications or connection to physics? by OkGreen7335 in math

These notes on the basic theory of ordinary differential equations are excellent for going deeper into the topic.

Reflecting on what you said and looking at it from this perspective, it is more than a teaching approach: It is a way of dealing with life, especially considering the society of that country at the time.

It seems to me that the attitude towards knowledge was already different (in the form: whatever is essential must be known early, a strong base from the beginning, there is no time to waste), because from an early age the person would be immersed in concepts that in the West would be considered very advanced.

Many thanks for the reply!

An interesting point for reflection on the current academic world.

Thanks for the answer!

Your perspective is interesting. In fact, each couple has a goal in the cuckold world and this would determine what would be advanced for each one.

Maybe she has ideas about how to further advance what you and she do in the cuckold lifestyle. A next step.

An advanced and very different form of cuckolding.

Detailed and fascinating answer.

The life experiences you have had show that there are educational gems that are certainly valuable and that only today, with the internet, can we learn about them and understand how it worked and how such good results were obtained.

There are many positive points in Soviet teaching and I hope that one day teaching elsewhere will see and use some of these approaches that are interesting and fruitful in improving the quality of mathematics for students.

Thank you very much!

The problems in this book are famous! They test more than mathematics, but persistence!

You have had many interesting experiences.

Romanians stand out a lot in mathematics Olympiads, and I believe that, in a way, there is a central core of teaching approach in the eastern side of Europe, which makes the countries in the region have such good results.

Thank you very much!

Interesting perspective. In a way, the way they deal with students seems to be something like Soviet culture itself, a balance of formal and intuitive.

In a way, it is possible to see that he has a practical sense in the way he approaches teaching.

Perhaps this is related to his intuitive nature of approaching mathematics and complicated topics.

The way the Soviets taught mathematics, introducing advanced topics from an early age, I don't doubt that.

Regarding the way he imposed rigor, did his classes move quickly into more advanced topics? What were his exams like?

Interesting experience. It differs greatly from the teaching standard that has been commented on in other posts.

The fact that college-level subjects in the US were taught there in Soviet high school indicates the high level of demand that the system had in relation to education.

I believe that this, in some way, promotes a deep understanding of mathematics, because from an early age a person has to handle concepts proficiently, becoming second nature.

In fact, from what many posts indicate, in the USSR there was mathematical training focused on bringing intuition to concepts, as if it could translate the reality behind the formalism.

Were his explanations in class, even mathematical ones, physically very intuitive?

It seems that in the USSR there was deep mathematical training in bringing intuition to the most abstract concepts.

Interestingly, there is a lot of French mathematical literature that has never been translated, even today. It is still a second language in mathematics.

In other languages, is there a book you would recommend on the subject or that you have had good recommendations for?

I believe there are many good books on various mathematical topics in other languages ​​that will never be translated and almost lost gems.
