A benefit of going to big conferences is that you get to learn about math concepts that would otherwise be outside your field. Such as

🌱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 🐿

tagging @studyviolette, @silenthoughtss @brightstudyblr, @finchleaf and anyone else who sees this and wants to do it!

From tomorrow I'll be starting to study real analysis,Linear algebra.I have a feeling I am going to enjoy it.

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 ^_^

digital planning is fun ♡ 

[3.06 pm] I have not yet started my day.I watched a movie in the morning (Mona Lisa Smile) I am in love with Julia Roberts Help Me!!!.I am feeling so good about myself and my situation right now.I love these days.

***

[9.57 pm] I finished two chapters of Differential equations and revised previous week's stuff.I put a face mask on, lit a candle and just chilled in the evening after the work.I am thinking of switching my moisturising cream so hunting for a new one.I'm thinking of ordering some more candles as well because they are helping me in reducing my study anxiety lol.

I hope you guys had a nice day.

216 days left to go...

Will I make it?
