📚Summer Studying Challenge 📚

August 8 2021: What books are you currently reading?

Yesterday I started reading 1984 by George Orwell.But I have also started two other books namely 'Men of Mathematics' by E.T.Bell and 'Music Of Primes' by Marcus du Sautoy.I have also decided to buy Anna karenina by Tolstoy after reading a post about it by @theclassicalmind.

I’m so tired today,Btw my august spread.

Happy August you guys ^_^

🌿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.

Heya! I finished chapter 12 of Analysis 1.It was I think the toughest chapter so far but it's not that tough that I'll loose my sleep over it.I also got the above book from Amazon today.The title is sexist but so is history 🤷🏻‍♀️I started from the last chapter and made some notes on it.I also revised chapter 8 today.Otherthan that it was a pretty chill day.I also answered an ask on Tumblr.I thought it was important to answer the question correctly and so I tried to the best of my ability 🐰

Now Nighty Nighty you guys

I hope you had a good 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 ^_^

Heya!!

So today I just revised the first four easy chapters of analysis 1 and then I started chapter 12 (Analysis 1).Chapter 12 is about tests for convergent series like the leibinz test for alternating series,comparison tests (there are two of them) and a lot more which I will be doing tomorrow.I am feeling very tired today.I didn’t even do much.I just had 2 hours of statistics exam and have been feeling tired ever since.Maybe I did not rest enough after the exam or maybe I just have to go and sleep now.

I did place an order for some multivitamin pills though.This is the first time I’ll be using the brand so let’s just see how that goes and apart from that I telephoned two of my school teachers.Here in India it’s guru Poornima (Basically Teacher’s Day according to the Hindu calendar) and it was lovely talking to them.I really do miss them a lot.I also put a sheet mask on in the evening hoping that it’ll make me feel better.It did but I’m still tired so I’m just gonna go sleep.

Aww look at you cutie reading everything hehe I hope your day went better^_^

See you tomorrow <3

Heya!!

Today I revised some stuff (90% of the day lol) and did chapter 10.Chapter 10 is about the scenic viewpoint theorem,Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem for real and complex numbers.

Fun fact: Bolzano- Weiestrass theorem for reals makes use of the scenic view point theorem and monotonic sequence theorem but both of them are not valid in the complex numbers because complex numbers don't have order.

This chapter also discussed about Cauchy sequences (it has to satisfy a condition to be called that),some facts (and proofs!) about when it is bounded and such and finally the Cauchy convergent criteria.

I also did chapter 11.It is about the convergence of series.It initially told me what series means and some popular series ( telescoping,harmonic,geometric etc) and what do we mean when we say a series is convergent.It spoke about some nice theorems (involving series of non negative terms,comparison test,cauchy criteria,absolute convergence) and some examples based on the theorems.I did get one basic doubt and I'm sure my friend will be able to clear that out as well.He really has my back when it comes to these silly doubts ^_^

[10.04 am] I am planning on waking up at 4 tomorrow and eventually make it a habit.I'll keep updating you guys on that xx

[9.51 pm] Today I wrote my last chemistry exam for life and I couldn't be happier.Next year onwards I can just have maths courses so no more chem fuss.Tomorrow I have my law exam so preparing for that.It is an extra subject.I am not at my best today.I have been anxious all day and hopefully I will feel fine tomorrow.

214 days left to go...

Will I make it? 49 assignments...23 courses..1 tiny room...
