Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Booleans

Sorry if this is a broad question, but what is the difference between the union, intersect, and difference boolean tools?

its in help if you search for boolean ... promise!

if you search boolean it will be described under mesh> boolean under modelling

it describes them this way:

Union: Combines the volume of the meshes.
Difference: Subtracts the first mesh from the second.
Intersection: Leaves only the shared volume of the meshes.

and booleans are rubbish.
