From Tomorrow I'll Be Starting To Study Real Analysis,Linear Algebra.I Have A Feeling I Am Going To Enjoy

27/06/2021

Heya ^^

The past few weeks have been stressful to say the least.My college is rushing the current semester and so a lot of info is coming in a very short period of time.Im also preparing for competitive exams so that's a little more stressey.

On the bright side I got my first dose of vaccine yesterday and I was sick today.Im feeling much better now though.

I'll update you guys with my plans tomorrow and I have also found some good maths problem sets with solutions.(Manly university math courses).I'll share them soon.

Now gotta go sleep.

I hope you are having a nice day ^^ <3

Hello! I really like your blog and it somehow makes me feel good and safe, your notes are really pretty! When I look at them they seem so interesting and I wish to understand them but the problem is I haven't even started university (I have just finished high school) and I'm kind of scared thinking it would be too difficult for me to grasp. It is just so different from high school math but at the same much more fascinating. Do you perhaps have any advice on how to introduce myself to it, where to start? Or should I just wait for the classes to start and then study?Best wishes to you!! Thank you

Hey @dantesdream !

I just want you to know that mathematics is difficult at the University level but it is not more difficult than any other university course.It is just different.📚

So how is mathematics different and why you shouldn't get discouraged by it?

There is an entire book written on it.It is called 'Alex's Adventures in Numberland' written by Alex Bellos.There is one particular page that I really like.It talks about how are brain perceives the world around us on a logarithmic scale but mathematics is linear and that is why we have to put the extra effort into it (To convert logarithmic to linear) but according to me this extra effort is far less than wading through hundreds of textbooks often contradicting each other that many other university courses require. Here is the cover page of the book I recommended if you would like to read it.

Apart from having a positive attitude towards it I think it'll be great if you could start studying it before your university begins.

So from where should you start?

If you know where you'll be going for your university studies then you can check if your university has uploaded their notes online and start accordingly.Some old students also usually post their notes,so see if you can get your hands on them.If these two options fail then there are two more.Oxford university has made all their mathematics notes avalilable.You can start with their Introduction to mathematics and complex numbers course (I'll put the link at the end).A student from Cambridge University named Dexter Chua also has made his notes available.You can start with Numbers and sets if you use his notes (Again I'll put the link at the end).

Oxford notes:

Dexter's notes:

You should be fine with these but the beginning steps into mathematics needs a little more help.You can use the book called as 'How to prove it:A structured approach' by Daniel J. Velleman.If you can read this with the first course that you are taking (your university notes or Oxbridge notes) then I think you'll enjoy the course more just like I did.Here is the image of the book

If you want to know more then I'm just a message away so feel free to ask your doubts.

And thank you for all your compliments hehe ^_^

I just felt like posting this, but here are some cards I designed with a shit ton of websites for my Game Design and Simulation class! I’m really proud of them :)) (also btw its a food game, just for some context)

🌱Day 2 of Summer Studying Challenge🌱

🌸July 2 2021🌸

🐼Do you have a specific goal for this summer ?🐼

I want to become more confident in my abilities by the end of the summer^^

🐻Today I did the following stuff🐻

Completed Assignment 3 of Vector Calculus

Completed chapter 2 of Linear algebra.

Completed chapter 1 of real analysis.

Duolingo French.

🐿Happy Summer 🐿

Hey, I love your blog! If you don't mind me asking, are you preparing for jee/an entrance exam or are you a college student?

Hey! Thank You sm! I This is my first ask lol and I'm always up for questions so I don't mind at all.

I am actually studying B.Sc hons (majoring in mathematics) and I am in second year (but like in 20 more days I will be a final year student).I am preparing for IIT JAM.It is an exam for undergraduates to get into universities for their masters degree.

I hope this answered your question and if you have any more questions always feel free to ask!

Lots of Love xx

Can I please disappear somewhere ?

Group theory is getting to me.Its like I know the theory but I need to apply and apply and apply and apply it till it clicks.I don't mind it but damn it's too much.I have given it a dead line of May 30 and I don't think I can complete it by then so maybe I have to extend my deadline which I don't like but yeah thats life and my brain will be happy with decision also I guess.So sorry for the rant and I hope today treated you so so well.

Apart from going insane with Group Theory I did some other stuff as well

Revised Stats

Revised chem and completed session 8-10 PowerPoint slides

Duolingo

But on a positive note my day did have some ups.I spoke with my boyfriend for like an hour and that literally was the best part of the day.2 of my friends had also video called me so I had a nice time there too.I did some cooking today for my mum and dad and they seemed to like it🤭

At the end of the day I am thankful that my blessings are greater than my problems💞

[3.48 pm]The piecewise functions that I didn't like can be solved easily using greens theorem (Happy dance ).The only condition is that the terms gotta be continuous and bounded.I did complete my targeted 20 problems a day but not at all satisfied with the topic.So I am going to do the same topic tomorrow again but I will find some different problems.It suuuuuuuccccckkkksss when you do problems and still need more problems to perfect the concept but I am going to be patient because everything will be just fine after a year.

***

[10.43 pm] I usually wind up with my studies by now but I haven't yet finished some of it. So I am going to sit for 30 more minutes and finish it all off and not push it to tomorrow. I was helping my friend with experimental values for a physics experiment. You know those scientific notations I always used to find them boring when I first learnt about them but now after actually using them so many times I have come to appreciate them very much. Those notations feel like these delicate things to me now. You gotta handle those notations with care and when you do it will give you get such an accurate answer.its just a very nice feeling to see it come together.

***

[11.45] I completed a chapter of real analysis 1 and a very small chapter in group theory.I wanted to do a bit of linear algebra but I changed my mind and so I am gonna do it tomorrow.

220 days left to go...

Will I make it ?

🌿What would be your perfect summer day? 🌿

Wake up late,have a light breakfast,pack a good lunch and go to a nearby scenic water place with my family.My family includes my parents,my cousins,my uncles and aunts.Eat a ton of fruits,play a lot of games,make a truck load of memories and fall asleep on my mommy's shoulder in the car on the way back home.

Love is sympathy,tolerance and patience.
